Curry Chicken Croissants

Submitted by Bobbie S.

"These croissant sandwiches are heavenly. They make a great entree for a luncheon. I've served them at a bridal shower and everyone requested the recipe. I cut back on the amount of curry powder -- but that's just personal preference. If you are a big curry powder fan, then you will probably want to add the amount listed in the recipe."

This was a tasty, simple chicken sandwich. The crunch of the celery and walnuts was perfect with the creamy sauce. I made this for lunch and caught myself eating it with a spoon right out of the bowl! :-) I really liked the curry and I used the full 3/4 tsp. I also used plain yogurt instead of sourcream.(trying to cut back on sourcream in diet) I might add some chopped grapes to the leftovers and eat it on whole wheat crackers for a snack. Very versatile recipe. Thanks Bobbie #3! Delish!
