Mini Chicken Salad Croissants

Courtly's Note:

"Great for a cookout or other get-together, this popular chicken salad could also be served on lettuce or on a slice of cantaloupe or honeydew melon. When there are kids in the crowder, I often substitute halved red seedless grapes for the peppers." From taste of home.
