Ingredients

• 2 cups (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
• 1 (medium, diced) Granny Smith apple
• 6 tablespoons (softened) Cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 package (8 pieces) Croissant dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 (large, for egg wash) Egg
• 1 teaspoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced apple, cream cheese, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and set aside.

Step 3

Roll out the croissant dough on a clean work surface and separate it into individual triangles along the perforated lines.

Step 4

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the chicken and apple mixture onto the wide end of each triangle of dough.

Step 5

Starting at the wide end, carefully roll up each croissant, tucking the filling inside as you go. Place the rolled croissants onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Brush the tops of the croissants with the egg wash.

Step 7

Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the croissants from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.
