  1. The day before, thaw cooked chicken souvlaki under refrigeration at <40'F/4'C until ready to use.

  4. Combine the vegetables, chopped chicken souvlaki, yogurt, lemon juice, and spices. Refrigerate at <40'F/4'C until ready to assemble sandwiches.
  5. To assemble sandwich: Portion 125 mls of Chicken Tikka & Cucumber mixture using #8 scoop. Spread mixture evenly on a croissant. May also add lettuce leaf to the sandwich. Serve immediately or wrap. Cut croissant into half at the point of service. CCP-Maintain <40F/4'C.
