This sandwich has been one of my favorites since I was a little girl.

For a luncheon, party, or just a random dinner, it doesn’t get much better than Chicken Salad on a Croissant.

Here’s how I make mine with less fat and calories than most places where you’d order one.

{My chicken salad is 4 PointsPlus® per serving and the croissant is 6 PointsPlus® for a total of 10 PointsPlus®.  That saves you 9 PointsPlus® from Panera’s sandwich and I guarantee it’s as good, if not better.}

Chicken Salad Sandwich

Serves: 6

Ingredients

• Two cooked chicken breasts {I boil mine, but you could bake them or even grill extras the next time you make chicken!}
• 1/2 cup Hellman’s Light Mayonaisse {Normally I’m all for whatever brand you prefer, but this has to be Hellman’s}
• 1/4 cup Sour Cream {I use fat free because I don’t want the extra fat, just the tang}
• 1 cup grapes *
• 2 stalks celery *
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds {this would also be good with pecans} *
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 6 Croissants

*optional

Preparation

Dice chicken breasts, celery and grapes into similar sized pieces

Add almonds, mayo and sour cream and mix well and season with salt and pepper

Serve on a croissant.  Garnish with tomatoes and lettuce, if desired.
