Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Great party food for wedding showers, baby showers, and other events!
- This easy recipe is ready in 15 minutes!
- Great way to use up leftover chicken that keeps your kitchen cool!
- Can be prepared a full day ahead, just like these Turkey Salad Croissants!
Ingredient Notes
- Bacon - crisp and crumble your own or use packaged bacon crumbles!
- Grapes - I prefer red grapes, but green grapes can be used as well.
- Chicken - You could use leftover rotisserie chicken or baked chicken breasts.
- Green Onions - Red onions could be substituted for the green onions.
- Peas - Fresh green peas or frozen peas work.
- Lemon Juice - You can use fresh or bottled lemon juice.
- Croissants - You'll need 6-8 regular croissants or 14-16 mini croissants.
Step by Step Instructions
- Mix up the tangy dressing part of the sandwich filling first.
- Measure the mayo, ginger, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce in a large mixing bowl and whisk together.
- Get out a cutting board to slice, dice, and chop up the chicken, celery, green onions, and grapes.
- Add the chopped cooked chicken, crisped and crumbled bacon, crunchy celery, green onions...
- ...peas and cut grapes in a large bowl.
- Mix well, and feel free to season with a little salt and black pepper if you would like.
- You can prepare the croissant sandwiches and serve them immediately, or you can store the filling in the fridge a day before you plan to use it. I personally like to make mine at least a few hours ahead of time to allow the flavors to blend.
- However, DO NOT fill the croissants ahead of time because they will get soggy.
- Cut the croissants in half and spoon chicken salad filling onto each flaky croissant!
- Store the leftover chicken salad in an airtight container in the fridge.

This chicken salad is so very delicious.
It is fast and easy to make and a hit with all ages.
It is great on those Hawaiian Rolls too.
