Rub chicken breasts with olive oil. Season with a little bit of salt and pepper. Bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and juice run clear. Cool to room temperature and then shred. (Can be made one day in advance)
In a medium bowl, whisk mayo, yogurt, salt and lemon zest. Before adding the lavender, crush between your finger and then add to the bowl. Whisk to combine.
Add cooled, shredded chicken, celery, red onion, cashews and chives. Toss until combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Evenly divide between six croissants or whole-grain bread. If desired serve with a bit more lavender and some peppery arugula.
