Equipment

  • Stand mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 rotisserie chicken white meat only
  • 4 celery stalks diced
  • 3 cups seedless purple grapes halved
  • 1⅛ cups mayonnaise more if needed
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Croissants halved
  • Bibb lettuce washed

Instructions
 

  • Remove the white meat from the rotisserie chicken, chop it into bite-sized pieces, and place it in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the diced celery, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Fold everything together with a spatula until the ingredients are evenly coated.
  • Transfer the mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on the lowest speed until just combined, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix. Add more mayonnaise, salt, or pepper if needed.
  • Gently fold in the halved grapes.
  • To serve, layer Bibb lettuce on the bottom half of a croissant, spoon on the chicken salad, and top with the remaining half of the croissant.

Notes

  • Fold the grapes in last to keep them whole and juicy.
  • Let the chicken salad chill for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
  • Taste before serving and adjust the mayonnaise, salt, or lemon juice if needed.
  • Serve on croissants, sandwich bread, crackers, lettuce cups, or over a bed of greens.
