Chicken Salad on Croissants

Chicken Salad

6 c. cooked, cubed chicken (about 3 lbs)

2 c. celery, chopped big or diced small
2 c. red apples, chopped big or diced small
2-3 c. red grapes
2/3 c. sliced or slivered almonds- optional

Combine with dressing


1- 2c. sour cream ( I use 1c.)

1 1/2 c. Miracle Whip
4 Tbsp. pineapple juice
4 Tbsp. orange juice
1/8- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder- or to taste
pepper to taste

Serve on a croissant,  lettuce bed, or cantaloupe ring


**note: I use fat free sour cream and light Miracle whip. I also like a bit more orange juice( i just throw in a spoonful of undiluted oj concentrate)

***note: feeds 30 1/2c. or 30 large Costco croissants ( 60 halved croissants- 1/4 c.)
****note: can mix up  the day before except grapes,  add grapes and mix just  before serving ( they go mushy)
*****apples won't brown, the citrus juices and the Miracle whip acids keep them from browning



Thanks to Kim Anderson!
