2 tablespoons lemon juice (about half a lemon)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Romaine lettuce leaves

Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, add 2 ½ cups chopped cooked chicken, 1 cup quartered grapes, 1 cup chopped pecans, ½ cup sliced green onions, and ½ cup finely diced celery.
Mix Dressing: Add 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard to the bowl. Stir all the ingredients together until well combined. Season with salt and ground black pepper to your taste, mixing thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
Assemble Sandwiches: Slice fresh croissants in half and layer with romaine lettuce leaves. Spoon the chicken salad mixture generously onto the bottom half of each croissant.
Serve: Place the croissant top over the chicken salad and serve immediately. Alternatively, the chicken salad can also be served alongside crackers for a lighter option.

Notes

For best results, use cooked chicken breast or rotisserie chicken finely chopped.
Chill the chicken salad for 30 minutes before serving to enhance flavors.
To toast the croissants, place them cut side down on a skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.
Substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
Add a pinch of celery seed for additional flavor if desired.
