Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1/2 pound)
  • 1/4 cup creamy ranch dressing
  • 1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1/4 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1/4 cup chopped tomato
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cashews
  • 2 croissants, split
  • 1 tablespoon butter, margarine, mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • Lettuce, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Arrange chicken, thickest parts to outside edge, in 2-cup microwavable casserole or on microwavable plate. Cover tightly and microwave on High 3 to 4 minutes or until juice is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut. Uncover and refrigerate about 10 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
  • 2
    Cut chicken into 1/4-inch pieces. Toss chicken, dressing, mustard, cucumber, tomato and cashews. Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour or until chilled.
  • 3
    Just before serving, spread cut sides of croissant halves with butter. Spread chicken mixture over bottoms of croissants; top with lettuce and tops of croissants.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Use leftover cooked chicken, or purchase chopped cooked chicken from the freezer case in your supermarket.
  • tip 2
    For a flavor twist, skip the tomatoes and use mandarin orange segments or cut-up grapes instead.
