Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 0.5 cup Celery, finely chopped
• 1 medium Apple, diced
• 0.5 cup Red grapes, halved
• 0.25 cup Slivered almonds, lightly toasted
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 medium Croissants
• 4 large Lettuce leaves

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breast in a pot and cover it with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the chicken simmer for about 12-15 minutes or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside.

Step 3

Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool.

Step 4

Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, chop it into small cubes.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.

Step 6

Add the chopped chicken, celery, diced apple, halved grapes, and toasted slivered almonds to the yogurt mixture.

Step 7

Gently fold the ingredients together until the chicken and fruit are well coated with the yogurt dressing.

Step 8

Slice the croissants in half horizontally and place a large lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each croissant.

Step 9

Spoon the chicken salad mixture onto the lettuce leaf, then top with the other half of the croissant.

Step 10

Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper and refrigerate for later.
