Equipment
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
- 1 Knife for chopping ingredients
- 1 Cutting board
Ingredients
Chicken Salad
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup celery diced
- 1/4 cup red grapes halved
- Salt and pepper to taste
Sliders
- 8 mini croissants
- Lettuce leaves optional
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded chicken, mayonnaise, diced celery, and halved grapes. Season with salt and pepper and mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each mini croissant in half horizontally, ensuring not to break the croissants.
Serving
- Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each croissant (if using). Spoon a generous amount of chicken salad onto the lettuce, then cover with the top half of the croissant.
- Arrange the assembled sliders on a serving platter. Secure each slider with a toothpick if needed for stability.
Storage
- If you have any leftover sliders, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best texture, store the chicken salad and croissants separately and assemble just before serving.
