• Gather your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table.

Prep Your Ingredients

• In a medium saucepan, cook the chicken breast in boiling water for 20-25 minutes until tender and cooked through. Remove from water and allow to cool. Shred with a knife and fork. You'll need 2 cups cooked boneless chicken breast.
• Slice 2 cups seedless red grapes in half with a sharp knife on a cutting board. Dice 1 cup celery into thin pieces.
• Using a food processor, mince 1/2 cup sweet onion. (I like using the food processor for this which makes the additional onion juice, which I include in the mixture.)
• Coarsely chop 1 cup cashews with a food chopper or knife.

Mix Together the Salad

• In a large bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, and prepared grapes, celery, and sweet onion. Add 2/3 cups mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
If making this ahead of time, refrain from adding the cashews until time to serve. At this point, you may cover and refrigerate the mixture until ready to serve.
• When ready to serve, add the chopped cashews to the mixture. Scoop a generous portion on 8 large bakery croissant rolls with 16 pieces lettuce leaves. Makes 6-8 sandwiches.
