Chicken Salad Croissants

While in the hospital after having Parker, I got to eat the yummiest turkey cranberry salad croissant sandwiches in the world. I loved it so much I requested it for lunch the next day. When I got home, I craved it all the time (still do!), so I looked up some recipes on allrecipes.com. I found this recipe for chicken, which is something we always have on hand anyway. I made sandwiches when Dana was visiting (although I didn't have any Swiss cheese at the time) and I made it again tonight. My only complaint is that I don't think it makes enough! I'd like leftovers to eat the next day. Even Aiden ate this without complaint. He loved it!

2 cups cubed, cooked chicken
1 cup cubed Swiss cheese
1/2 cup dill pickle relish
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1 Tbs minced fresh parsley
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1/8 tsp pepper
lettuce leaves
6 croissants, split

1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cheese, and pickle relish.
2. In another bowl, combine the mayonnaise, parsley, lemon juice, seasoned salt, and pepper.
3. Add to chicken mixture; mix well.
4. Place a lettuce leaf on each croissant; top with about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture.

** notes: we had sweet relish instead of dill, and it worked out just fine. Also, Ches (who likes the Swiss cheese... I'm not fond of most cheeses myself) was saying he would have rather had slices of cheese than cubed. It's up to you! :)
