Ingredients

  • 4 cups rotisserie chicken shredded
  • 1/2 cup mayo add more as needed
  • 1/2 cup toasted pecans measure then chop
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 4 oz mandarin oranges drained
  • 1 tablespoon chives chopped
  • Salt and pepper
  • Lettuce
  • Croissants

Instructions

  1. Start by toasting whole pecans at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes, then chop.

  2. Combine chicken, mayo, crushed pecans, cranberries, and mandarin oranges in a medium-sized bowl. Use a fork to combine; oranges will naturally break up as the ingredients mix. Add salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle in fresh chives.

  3. To make sandwiches, cut croissants lengthwise and spread both sides with additional mayo. Add lettuce and chicken salad.
