This is my favorite chicken salad recipe!! I’ve made it many times. We prefer it on croissants spread with a touch of butter. I think the apple really makes it🤩

I made your chicken salad & it's delicious. I slightly boiled the diced apples. I also precooked the onions & the celery stalk so it's soft. Plus I heated pumpernickel bread to make sandwich. . I sold my soul to you

In reply to Laura. Hi Laura! Since the apples are coated, I have never had an issue with them browning so you should be good to make it ahead of time. :)

I have to peel the apples, no peels allowed, will they turn brown as they tend to do if you make it during the day for a dinner at night?

Another hit from Sam! I made mini croissant chicken salad sandwiches for a church brunch, and they tasted delish and turned out beautifully. If you’re making smaller sandwiches as I did (I used the smaller (normal) sized baked croissants from Sam’s Club), this recipe will yield 16 perfectly portioned sanwhiches.
On a side note, I feel like I could dupe that character Julie on “Julie and Julia”, but me cooking all of Sam’s recipes…I am that addicted to this website and absolutely astonished at how wonderful Sam’s recipes are!

3 teen boys and a hibby just ate it all up. Good thing I doubled the recipe. My picky eater had seconds and fixed his lunch for the next day! Perfect summer dinner for us!
