Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced cooked chicken, chopped fresh mango, mayonnaise, chopped fresh basil, and sliced green onions. Gently fold these ingredients together until well mixed, ensuring the chicken maintains some chunky texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. While the chicken salad mixture rests, take the flaky croissants and slice them in half horizontally to create a pocket for the filling.
  3. Take the bottom half of each croissant and spoon in a generous portion of the mango chicken salad mixture. Press down slightly to secure the filling and close the sandwich with the top half of the croissant.
  4. For optimal freshness and flavor, serve the Mango Chicken Salad Sandwiches immediately or refrigerate the chicken salad mixture in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Assemble the sandwiches just before serving.
