Instructions
1 Split the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl.
2 In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice until smooth.
3 Add the dressing to the bowl with chicken. Mix in chopped celery, halved grapes, green onions, parsley, and toasted almonds (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4 Cover the chicken salad and chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to let flavors meld (optional but recommended).
5 If desired, warm the mini croissants briefly in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 3–5 minutes to refresh them.
6 Slice each mini croissant in half horizontally. Place a small lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each croissant.
7 Spoon a generous tablespoon (or more) of chicken salad onto each croissant bottom, then top with the croissant top.
8 Arrange the mini sandwiches on a platter. Garnish with extra parsley or a few halved grapes for color.
9 Serve immediately for best texture and flavor. Enjoy as a snack, appetizer, or light meal!
