Step 1

If using uncooked chicken breasts, preheat oven to 400°F. Rub chicken breasts with the olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 22-26 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F when tested with an instant read meat thermometer placed in the thickest part of the breast. Roughly chop or shred the cooked chicken.

Step 2

In a large bowl, add the cooked chicken, grapes, celery, green onions, almonds, and dill, then gently toss to combine.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Add the dressing mixture to the chicken mixture and gently stir until everything is evenly coated. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or even overnight.

Step 5

If making chicken salad sandwiches, slice each croissant in half and layer a piece of green leaf lettuce and a scoop of chicken salad on each roll. Or serve the chicken salad over a bed of mixed greens with sliced tomato and avocado.
