Mayonnaise does a wonderful job of this but if you\u2019re not a fan, you can use Greek yogurt or even avocado.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dill pickle relish:<\/strong> This kind of relish is briny, so it brings an extra hit of flavor to an otherwise simple salad. Feel free to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/bread-and-butter-pickles\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/bread-and-butter-pickles\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">bread and butter pickles<\/a> if you like a little sweetness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parsley:<\/strong> Fresh and vibrant green, parsley is an herb that won\u2019t overpower the other ingredients in this recipe.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon juice:<\/strong> Not only is it tangy, but lemon juice also brightens the flavor of the chicken salad. You can also add some lemon zest to the salad for a different, yet complementary, flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chicken:<\/strong> Because it takes on the flavor of whatever it\u2019s mixed with, chicken is one of the go-to proteins for a salad. Use a dark cut of the meat such as chicken thighs for more flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Swiss cheese:<\/strong> Mild and nutty, Swiss cheese adds some extra flavor without going overboard. If you prefer, substitute gouda, gruyere or provolone for the Swiss cheese.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Croissants:<\/strong> The texture of a croissant is very delicate and light, so it\u2019s best to buy fresh in this case. You can make your own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-croissants\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-croissants\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">croissants<\/a> or try the sandwich with brioche bread instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lettuce:<\/strong> While the rest of this recipe is soft, lettuce adds a little crunch and fiber. We recommend using iceberg, butterhead or romaine lettuce.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Make the sauce<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2046424\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Chicken_Salad_Croissants_TOHD24_10876_ChristineMa_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Make the sauce\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Christine Ma for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Assemble the ingredients and take out a mixing bowl.

For example, tarragon and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/herbes-de-provence\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/herbes-de-provence\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">herbes de Provence<\/a> are classic herbs used in French cuisine, while cilantro is popular in Mexican and Asian dishes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dress up the sauce:<\/strong> Experiment with the sauce by adding a touch of curry powder, balsamic glaze, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-miso-paste\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-miso-paste\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">miso paste<\/a>, liquid smoke, or Worcestershire sauce. You have plenty of options for achieving a greater depth of flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add extras:<\/strong> Is anything lingering in your pantry that you want to use up? This may be your chance! Toasted nuts, fresh or dried fruits, bacon bits, diced celery or cherry tomatoes\u2014the list goes on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Chicken Salad Croissants<\/h2>\n<p>Because bread is absorptive, the chicken salad croissant may become soggy if left uneaten for two to three hours. To prevent this, you can prep the chicken salad ahead and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Croissants are best eaten the day they are baked but if you\u2019re in a pinch you can keep them in reusable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/bees-wrap\/#:~:text=Beeswax%20wrap%2C%20or%20beeswrap%2C%20is,beeswax%20and%20creates%20a%20seal.\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/bees-wrap\/#:~:text=Beeswax%20wrap%2C%20or%20beeswrap%2C%20is,beeswax%20and%20creates%20a%20seal.\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">beeswax wraps<\/a> in the fridge for up to four days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze chicken salad croissants?<\/h3>\n<p>Although you can freeze chicken salad, its flavor and texture will likely change. This is primarily because when frozen, the emulsion of the mayo breaks, causing an uneven texture. Also, if you choose to put fruits or any other water-rich ingredient in the salad, you\u2019ll notice that the salad becomes watery when thawed.<\/p>\n<p>If you do choose to freeze this recipe, place it in a freezer bag in an even layer and squeeze out all the air. Store it in your freezer for up to two months and when ready to eat it, allow it to thaw in the fridge.<\/p>\n<h2>Chicken Salad Croissant Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2046427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Chicken_Salad_Croissants_TOHD24_10876_ChristineMa_6.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Chicken salad croissant recipe by Taste Recipes\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Christine Ma for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do you keep the bread from getting soggy?<\/h3>\n<p>Your best bet to prevent the bread on a sandwich from becoming soggy is to eat it within two to three hours. If this isn\u2019t an option, there are a few tricks. First, place the lettuce leaves on top of the chicken salad, as they contain water, which is more likely to escape when placed under extra pressure.<\/p>\n<h3>How long should chicken salad sit before eating?<\/h3>\n<p>Because this recipe contains two especially perishable ingredients, chicken and mayonnaise, it\u2019s best to leave it at room temperature for less than two hours. If you need to keep it longer, transfer the salad to an airtight container and place it in the fridge for up to four days.<\/p>\n<h3>How can I make bland chicken salad taste better?<\/h3>\n<p>If you find your chicken salad to taste bland, you can use any of the recipe variations mentioned above, or make sure you don\u2019t just use chicken breast. Dark cuts of meat such as chicken thighs, as well as chicken skin, provide much more flavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This tempting chicken salad that gets its special taste from Swiss cheese and pickle relish.
