Prepare the Chicken Salad

In a medium bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, diced celery, and diced red onion.

Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and chopped parsley to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Prepare the Crostini

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet.

Brush each baguette slice with olive oil.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the crostini are lightly golden and crispy. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Assemble the Crostini

Spoon a generous amount of chicken salad onto each toasted baguette slice.

Garnish with extra fresh parsley, if desired.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
