Summery Chicken Salad Croissants

I have been making this Chicken Salad recipe for years.  It's been my 'go to' recipe for picnics, luncheons and showers, and now I can add a cross country move to it's list of occasions.  Our son and his wife are moving from Texas to Tennessee today, and he asked if I would make these sandwiches for them to take on the drive. Since they are traveling with their cat, and will not be able to leave her in a hot car while they eat out on the way, I happily agreed to make a batch of this family favorite along with some cubed melons to send with them, and of course I had to treat myself with some for lunch today.

Summery Chicken Salad on Croissants

6 cups chopped cooked chicken breast

1 1/4 cups sliced celery

1 8oz can pineapple tidbits, drained

1 1/4 cups reduced fat mayonnaise

2 1/2 tablespoons dry white wine

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon cracked ground pepper

3/4 teaspoon curry powder

1/3 cup toasted chopped walnuts

6  large Croissants, or 12 petite size if serving at luncheons or showers.

Combine first 3 ingredients in a large bowl; set aside

Combine mayonnaise and next 4 ingredients and add to chicken mixture, tossing well to coat.

Cover and chill at least 2 hours, overnight is better.

Stir in walnuts and serve on warmed sliced croissants.

I hope you give this recipe a try, and enjoy it as much as my family has over the years.
