• 2 stalks Green onions
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 pieces Croissants
• 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the chicken breast on a baking sheet and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

Step 3

While the chicken is baking, chop the celery stalks and green onions into small pieces. Halve the red grapes, and set aside.

Step 4

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, shred the chicken using two forks or chop it into small bite-sized pieces.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or chopped chicken, chopped celery, halved grapes, and diced green onions.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 7

Pour the yogurt dressing over the chicken mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.

Step 8

Slice the croissants in half horizontally. Place two romaine lettuce leaves on the bottom half of each croissant.

Step 9

Spoon the chicken salad mixture onto the lettuce, then place the top half of the croissant over the chicken salad.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-fat chicken salad croissants!
