Chicken Salad

Patty says she was seeking an alternative to mayonnaise based chicken salads when she developed this recipe. In addition to the very appealing chicken salad croissant sandwiches featured here, she also uses the recipe as a side salad with larger meals and sometimes she uses the salad mixture to fill the cavity of a cantaloupe melon wedge.
