Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 3 cups (710 ml) cooked chicken breasts, diced
Vegetables and Herbs:
- 2 medium cucumbers, seeded, peeled, and diced
- 6 lettuce leaves
- 1 tomato, sliced
- ¼ teaspoon dill weed
Condiments and Bread:
- ¾ cup (180 ml) mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 croissant rolls
Instructions
- Shred the cooked chicken into fine, uniform pieces using two forks, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Whisk mayonnaise with finely chopped dill weed in a mixing bowl, creating a smooth, herbaceous base for the salad.
- Gently fold the shredded chicken into the seasoned mayonnaise, coating each piece evenly and thoroughly.
- Dice cucumbers into small, consistent cubes, removing excess moisture with a paper towel to prevent sandwich sogginess.
- Incorporate the cucumber pieces into the chicken mixture, stirring carefully to distribute without breaking the delicate cucumber chunks.
- Split croissant rolls horizontally, creating a soft, flaky foundation for the sandwich.
- Layer crisp lettuce leaves on the bottom half of each croissant, providing a fresh green barrier between the bread and filling.
- Generously spoon the chicken-cucumber mixture onto the lettuce, creating a generous and balanced filling.
- Top the salad with thin, uniform tomato slices for an extra burst of color and juicy freshness.
- Close the sandwiches by placing the croissant top over the filling, pressing gently to secure all ingredients.
