Description

This no-mayo chicken salad is perfect for sandwiches or mini croissants. This is a great way to use rotisserie chicken, which makes preparation even easier.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon hot honey (such as Mike's Hot Honey®)
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Chicken Salad:
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
2 (1/4 inch thick) slices lightly toasted French bread, cut into very small cubes
2 small tomatoes on the vine, diced
1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons minced celery
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
10 small pimento-stuffed olives, halved
8 mini croissants

Directions

1 Whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, hot honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined; set aside.
2 Add chicken, bread cubes, tomatoes, onion, celery, cilantro, and olives to a large bowl; mix well. Drizzle dressing over the chicken mixture, and stir until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary.
3 Slice croissants in half, fill with chicken salad, and serve.
