Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Salad
  • 2 cups chicken canned, rotisserie, poached, or baked
  • 1 cup celery finely diced
  • 1/2 cup onion finely minced
  • 1 cup grapes halved, can substitute with diced apples
  • 1/4 cup almonds slivered or toasted, can swap with sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise Hellmann's recommended
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard can use yellow mustard as substitute
For the Crescent Rolls
  • 1 tube crescent rolls Pillsbury Original recommended
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • aluminum foil

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Chicken Salad: Drain and shred the chicken in a mixing bowl. Mix in diced celery, minced onion, grapes, and almonds until combined.
  2. Incorporate Dressings: Fold in mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until evenly coated and creamy. Refrigerate while preparing the crescent rolls.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Prepare Foil Balls: Roll aluminum foil into small balls, about the size of golf balls, to shape the crescent rolls.
  5. Shape the Crescent Rolls: Unroll the crescent dough, wrap two corners around the foil ball, and pinch seams closed. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  6. Bake the Rolls: Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden-brown. Watch closely for perfect flakiness.
  7. Cool and Remove Foil: Let the rolls cool slightly and then carefully remove the foil balls.
  8. Fill and Serve: Fill each roll with chicken salad and garnish with parsley before serving warm.
