My Croissant Sandwich
This relishing gourmet sandwich stuffed with chicken and fresh salad ingredients in a buttery croissant is a perfect choice for a quick lunch or brunch, so delicious and yummy that keeps you wanting for more.
Ingredients
- Frozen Croissants
- Chicken breasts
- Romaine or Leaf Lettuce
- Tomatoes
- Swiss cheese singles
- Lemon pepper/Mango Chipotle powder or spices of your choice
- Mayonnaise
- Dijon Mustard sauce
- Olive oil
- Ketchup - optional
Instructions
- Thaw the frozen croissants according to instructions and bake them till golden brown.
- Meanwhile cut the chicken breasts into thin slices or strips. Rub with lemon pepper, or chipotle mango powder or any spices of your choice. (I used chipotle mango powder from Costco)
- Add some olive oil and roast or broil them in the oven till done. Remove from the oven and let it cool down to room temperature.
- Slice the tomatoes, wash, towel dry the lettuce and keep aside.
- When the croissants cool down a bit, slice them in the centre with a bread knife more than half way through, without separating the two slices.
- Spread some mayo & dijon mustard lightly on the inside, add the chicken then top with Swiss cheese, tomato slices and lettuce.
- Drizzle some ketchup to the chicken if you want, just a little. Now close the sandwich and serve for lunch with some garden salad. You may also wrap it with cling wrap and pack it for lunch. The Croissant Sandwich is ready to go!
Notes
- You could also use freshly baked croissants from the bakery store and make your sandwiches with chicken/ lamb/ beef or any filling of your choice.
- Croissants are very soft and delicate to handle so it is much better to to use mayonnaise or sauces on the meat and salad rather than on the bun itself as it tends to break.
