Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Salad
  • 1 can Canned Chicken Fully cooked and cooled; rotisserie can be used.
  • 1 cup Celery Freshly diced.
  • 1/4 cup Onion Finely minced.
  • 1 cup Grapes Halved; can substitute with diced apples.
  • 1/2 cup Almonds Slivered or toasted.
  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise Hellmann's recommended or Greek yogurt for lighter version.

For the Crescent Rolls
  • 1 package Crescent Rolls Pillsbury Original preferred.

Equipment

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

Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Start by draining the canned chicken and breaking it into small pieces in a mixing bowl. Add finely minced onion, freshly diced celery, halved grapes, and toasted almonds into the bowl. Gently combine the ingredients with mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until completely mixed and creamy. Set aside.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). To create hollow centers in the crescent rolls, crumple aluminum foil into golf ball-sized balls. Unroll the crescent dough and cut it into triangle shapes. Wrap each around a foil ball to form a carrot or egg shape, making sure the seam is on the bottom.
  3. Baking the crescent shapes for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them; you’re looking for a warm, golden exterior.
  4. After allowing the crescent rolls to cool slightly, gently remove the foil balls. Fill these rolls with your savory chicken salad mixture until nicely filled but not overflowing.
  5. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the filled crescent rolls. Serve warm and enjoy at your gathering.
