How To Make chicken salad croissants

  • 1
    Arrange chicken, thickest parts to outside edge, in 2-cup microwavable casserole or on microwavable plate.

    Cut chicken into 1/4-inch pieces. Toss chicken, dressing, mustard, cucumber, tomato and cashews. Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour or until chilled.
