Cherry Chicken Croissant recipe
When you can't make it to the French bistro, bring the bistro to your home. This recipe takes a regular chicken salad base and transforms it into an elegant filling of fruits, vegetables, and fresh herbs - stuffed inside a flaky croissant, it's a café classic you can recreate time and again.
Ingredients:
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon dried basil

¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 ½ cup chopped rotisserie chicken
½ cup chopped pitted cherries
¼ cup chopped walnuts
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
2 scallions, finely chopped
