Chicken salad croissant sandwiches is one of the most delicious recipes ever. Place the chicken salad between the croissant and you have the most amazing sandwich ever.
I love this salad because you can either use it for a fancy get together like a baby shower or you can even use it for dinner. It is a recipe that you do not have to turn the oven on, and it is a little cooler for those nice summer nights that are HOT!
And again, if you are like one of my children you can just add the grapes and almonds to half of the mixture and for those who are a little fussy, you can serve the one without any grapes and almonds. Those people do not know what they are missing out on! I love it with almonds and I love it with cashews. You can do whatever works for your family and friends. Another thing, is that you could use red grapes if you want it to be a little more colorful.

Do I have to Use Large Croissants for these Sandwiches?
- If you are going to make these for a party, you could use small croissants.
I used big ones because I like people to get full. We do not want anyone complaining about being hungry around here; however, I know that it happens because I hear about it every day. I think that my youngest son has a hole in his leg. My grandma use to ask us if we had a hole in our leg, and now I know exactly what she was talking about.
I have never used fresh pineapple before, but I bet the flavor would be amazing. The next time I make this wonderful dish, I am going to try and use fresh pineapple. If you beat me to it, let me know what you think.

- I wouldn’t suggest that you leave it out.
- The cream in this chicken salad croissant sandwiches makes a big difference.
- I love how creamy it makes the salad and the cream really enhances the flavor.
Back to the Farm for My Family Reunion:
How was your weekend? I had a great time at my family reunion. I took my granddaughter for a ride on our Razor up in a hay field and let me tell you, I was a little freaked out. There were grasshoppers everywhere! They were jumping in the Razor with us and I was screaming and driving like a mad woman!
I just do not like those things on my head or legs or anywhere on me. My brother was telling me that one day he had one hit him in the head and almost knock him out. 🙂 I thought that he was kidding, but now I know that he wasn’t. We need to get us some seagulls to come and eat them.
I miss the farm, but I do not miss all those bugs. I also miss the mountains and the quiet stillness that they manifest. My neighbors are great, but I love the space that comes from being on a farm where the closest neighbor is a mile down the road. I guess that I just need a winter home and a summer home. Now that would be the best of both worlds. Summer is going by fast, my friends; enjoy every day.
Does this salad not look like a little heaven on earth? I hope that you get a chance to try it and that if you are having a fun get together that you will serve this wonderful chicken salad croissant sandwich I promise you will get compliments!
Tips and Tricks for Chicken Salad Croissant Sandwiches:
- I like to cook my chicken the day before, that way the salad comes together so much quicker.
- If you have a hard time with celery, make sure that you cut it very small.
- In a hurry; buy your croissants at Costco or Sam’s Club.
- I use Best Foods Mayonnaise because that is the one that I prefer.
- You may want to use purple grapes instead of the green, and that is fine too.

Hi Amy,
This Chicken Salad Croissant is perfect. I love croissant and I love chicken salad, thank you for sharing this. Somehow, I feel that its a good to go in the office…for a change. Take care and enjoy the remaining days of summer.
Thank you. I do think that it is a good recipe to go in the office. You enjoy the rest of your summer too!
Oh, with PINEAPPLE? I have never seen that combination before! I wish I could get my family on boards with chicken salad…my kids won’t touch the stuff and I love it so! Maybe in a few years 😉
Ha ha, my son is 19! I don’t know why he is so picky? My husband said that it is because I spoiled him so. I am the youngest and so he. But sometimes I just think that they are born that way! Hugs from one mom to another!
This recipe looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing on To Grandma’s House We Go!
We love these sandwiches! Thank you for coming by and leaving a comment.
I seriously LOVE chicken salad sammies but have never made one. Mostly because I feel I wouldn’t do it justice so I just eat them when I’m at a girly restaurant with friends. I’d love to try this because it seems easy but I have a quick question. Can I substitute cooked canned chicken instead? Thanks!
Absolutely! That would make it just that much easier to make. They will be delicious. You can make these and I know that they will taste great! Enjoy and thank you for stopping by.:)
