This is a great and tasty brunch/lunch dish. It has chicken, grapes, apples and pecans in a yogurt/sour cream sauce on lightly toasted croissants. We especially enjoy this in the spring and summer months. It also makes a wonderful bridal or baby shower meal with the addition of a delicate salad of baby greens. Ingredients:
3 cooked, boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in very small bite size pieces |
1 small granny smith apple, peeled, cored and diced |
20 red, seedless grapes, quartered |
2 stalks celery, diced |
1 green onion, chopped |
1/2 cup roasted pecans or walnuts, chopped |
1/2 tsp. paprika |
1/2 tsp. garlic powder |
1 tsp. parsley |
salt and pepper to taste |
1/4 cup plain yogurt |
1/4 sour cream |
1/3 cup mayonaise |
4 croissants, split |
butter |
Directions:
1. Combine first ten incredients.
2. Mix yogurt, sour cream and mayonaise together, add to the chicken mixture. It depends on how creamy you like your salad and if you want it a bit dryer or wetter, start with half the amount of yogurt mixture and add more as needed. Also, you may play with the seasonings, some people even enjoy a bit of curry.
3. Butter the inside of croissants and lightly toast in a frying pan.
4. Fill the croissants with the salad. You can add some lettuce and sliced tomato on top of salad if so desired.
