Preparation

• Step 1 In a medium to large mixing bowl, combine 15 oz. chunked chicken, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/2 cup halved grapes, 1/4 cup chopped pecans, and 1/2 cup mayonnaise.
• Step 2 Stir until well-combined.
• Step 3 Split a croissant in half horizontally.
• Step 4 If desired, broil the cut sides of the croissant to keep them from absorbing the chicken salad filling.
• Step 5 Now, place a couple of fresh lettuce leaves on the bottom half of the croissant, put a generous amount of chicken salad on top of the lettuce, and cap it off with the top half of the croissant.
• Step 6 Continue until your materials are used up.
• Step 7 As an alternative, you may place lettuce leaves on a serving plate, and place a large mound of chicken salad on top.
• Step 8 If you have any pecan crumbles left, sprinkle them on top.
• Step 9 Place a fresh, hot croissant alongside.
• Step 10 This is just *one* way to make chicken salad.
• Step 11 It is also great if you substitute pineapple, chopped dates, raisins, etc., in place of the grapes! You can make this a *very* healthy dish, if you choose, because *you* have control of exactly what goes in it!!!
