Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Season the 1 chicken breast with 0.5 tsp salt and a pinch of black pepper if you have it. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.

  2. Step 2

    Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (no pink inside, juices run clear). Let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

  3. Step 3

    While the chicken cooks, finely dice the 1 carrot, 1 celery stalk, and 0.5 small onion. Place them in a bowl with 2 tbsp mayonnaise and mix well.

  4. Step 4

    Slice the 2 croissants in half horizontally. If you like, toast them cut-side down in the same skillet for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

  5. Step 5

    Divide the vegetable-mayo mixture between the bottom halves of the croissants. Top with the sliced chicken, then close with the top halves.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately, or wrap in foil and refrigerate for up to 4 hours for a picnic or packed lunch.
