Tarragon Chicken Salad
Lani Wakeham
5 cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
2 apples, chopped (Gala or Braeburn recommended)
½ cup green onions, chopped
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sour cream (adjust mayo and sour cream for preferred moistness)
2 tablespoons dried tarragon (I used fresh but not as handy)
Salt, garlic salt and pepper to taste
8 croissants
Chop cooked chicken into pieces (rotisserie chicken works great too). Combine shredded or diced chicken, chopped apple, celery and green onions. In a separate bowl, combine
mayo with sour cream and seasonings. Mix well then add to chicken mixture
and fold in. Chill until ready to serve on croissants as sandwiches. Serves 8.

DRESSING:
1 c. Mayonnaise, may also replace up to ½ the mayo with sour cream to cut down calories.

salad and toss. Chill. (12 servings.)
