This chicken salad is a light yet delicious twist on a classic favorite. Using lean chicken breast, Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise, and fresh herbs, this salad is flavorful but low in points. The croissants are an indulgent yet controlled portion, making it a satisfying meal for anyone on the Weight Watchers plan. It’s perfect for a quick lunch, a picnic, or even a light dinner.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast (skinless, boneless)
  • 1/2 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 whole-wheat croissants (or regular croissants for a few extra points)

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, red onion, celery, and parsley.
  2. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Mix well until everything is evenly coated and the chicken is well incorporated.
  4. Slice the croissants in half and lightly toast them if desired.
  5. Spoon the chicken salad mixture onto the bottom half of each croissant and top with the other half.
  6. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
