❓ FAQ:
Can I use leftover chicken from the day before?
Of course! It's a great anti-waste recipe. Leftover roast or boiled chicken works great.
Can I freeze them before or after baking?
Yes, you can freeze them already cooked and reheat them when needed. It's best to avoid freezing raw, filled dough, as it may release water during cooking.
What type of croissant should I use?
Ready-made rolls, like those found in supermarkets, are perfect. You can also make the dough from scratch, but refrigerated ones will save you time!
Can I make them ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to bake them, assemble the croissants and bake.
