Notes
For extra flavor, add a pinch of curry powder or a squeeze of lemon juice to the chicken salad.
You can use leftover roasted or rotisserie chicken for this recipe.
If making ahead, store the chicken salad and croissants separately and assemble just before serving to prevent the croissants from getting soggy.
Add some chopped grapes or pecans for a sweet and crunchy element.
