2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
½ cup pesto
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 cup celery, chopped
½ cup red grapes, halved

Instructions
Prep your chicken: If you're using leftover chicken, fantastic! If not, simply poach or roast chicken breasts until cooked through. Shred the chicken with two forks and set aside.
Mix it up: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, pesto, mayonnaise, and chopped celery. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
Add the grapes: Toss in the halved grapes and gently fold them into the mix.
Season: Taste your mixture before seasoning with salt and pepper.
Slice the croissants: Using a serrated knife, carefully slice each croissant in half.
Assemble: Generously fill the bottom half of each croissant with the chicken salad mixture.
Garnish: Top with fresh basil leaves if you’re feeling fancy. Place the top of the croissant on and serve.
