MINI CHICKEN SALAD CROISSANTS

Mini Chicken Salad Croissants image

Fresh-tasting and great for a get-together, this popular chicken salad could also be served on lettuce or a slice of cantaloupe or honeydew melon. When there will be kids in the crowd, I often substitute halved red seedless grapes for the peppers. -Patricia D. Tjugum, Tomahawk, Wisconsin
