Chicken Salad Croissants

We have adapted this recipe from a few we liked and it has become our favorite. It is great on the croissants. You can also serve it on a bed of lettuce if preferred. We like to make this for dinner in the summer to avoid heating up the kitchen.

Chicken Salad for Croissants
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cooked
1 apple, chopped (either braeburn or fuji)
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 c. halved red seedless grapes
1 c. salted cashews

Cook the chicken and then as you are cutting it up sprinkle liberally with Beaumonde seasoning (by Spice Island, but you can also use Bon Apetite by Schilling). Also sprinkle on salt and pepper. Combine above ingredients and add:

1 tsp. Beaumonde
1/8 tsp. curry (optional)
1 c. mayonnaise
1 c. sour cream
squirt of lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

Mix everything together and add more seasoning of desired. It is good if refrigerated for a few hours to let the flavors blend together. **I wait to add the cashews right before serving**

*green grapes and toasted slivered almonds can be substituted for the red grapes and cashews if preferred.
