Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • 2 lb chicken tenders
  • water
  • salt
Put the chicken tenders in a pot with lots of water and a little salt, bring to a boil and boil until fully cooked, about 25 to 30 minutes.
Remove or drain, cool until easy to handle, then shred, removing any rubbery parts, into a big bowl.
  • 1 whole roasted red pepper
Chop one jarred roasted red pepper and add.
  • pepperoncini peppers
Slice pepperoncini, seeds left in for a hint of spice, and add to taste.
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • black pepper
  • 4 whole scallions
Add about 3/4 cup mayonnaise, freshly cracked black pepper, and four thinly sliced scallions that were soaked in water and drained. No salt, since the mayonnaise carries enough.
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
Season with a teaspoon of dried oregano, mix, taste and adjust.
  • 4 whole croissants
Slice four croissants in half lengthwise and spread a generous amount of chicken salad over each.
Assembling on croissants with mozzarella
  • fresh mozzarella
  • oregano
  • crushed red pepper flakes
Top with fresh mozzarella, a little oregano and crushed red pepper flakes.
Bake in a 350 degree oven 9 to 10 minutes; optionally broil the last minute or so to melt the cheese.
Variation: cook in the air fryer 7 minutes at 350 degrees.
