Weight Watchers Chicken Salad on Croissants

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced or shredded (skinless, boneless)
  • 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons light mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup grapes, halved (optional for sweetness)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or dill), chopped (optional)
  • Whole wheat or multigrain mini croissants

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Chicken: Cook and shred or dice the chicken breast. You can boil, grill, or use pre-cooked chicken.
  2. Make Dressing: In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Adjust the quantities according to taste.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a larger mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, celery, red onion, and grapes (if using). Add the dressing and toss until everything is well coated.
  4. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Assemble Croissants: Slice the mini croissants in half. Spoon the chicken salad onto the bottom half of each croissant.
  6. Optional Garnish: Sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley or dill on top for added flavor.
  7. Serve: Place the top half of the croissant on the chicken salad, creating a sandwich. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes:

  • Choose whole wheat or multigrain mini croissants for added fiber.
  • Greek yogurt and light mayonnaise are used to reduce the fat content while still providing creaminess.
  • Feel free to customize with your favorite veggies or herbs.
