common recipe questions
What type of chicken should I use for this recipe?
Canned chicken works well for convenience, but you can also use cooked, shredded chicken breasts or thighs.
Can I use mayonnaise instead of Miracle Whip?
You can substitute mayonnaise for Miracle Whip if you prefer the flavor. Miracle Whip is lighter and sweeter and mayo is thicker and a bit tangy.
What can I use as a substitute for poultry seasoning?
You can use a combination of sage, thyme, marjoram, and rosemary as a substitute for poultry seasoning. Or you can make your own with these recipes.
Is it necessary to use olives in the chicken salad?
No, olives are optional and can be omitted if you prefer.
Can I add other ingredients?
You add ingredients like grapes, nuts, dried cranberries, or even diced apples.
How should I store leftover chicken salad?
Leftover chicken salad should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Can I make the chicken salad mixture ahead of time?
You can prepare the chicken salad mixture ahead of time and assemble the sandwiches just before serving to prevent soggy bread.
What is the purpose of lining the croissants or bread with lettuce?
Lining the bread with lettuce helps prevent it from becoming soggy from the chicken salad mixture.
Can I use a different type of bread for the sandwiches?
Yes, feel free to use your favorite type of bread, such as whole wheat, sourdough, or even a wrap.

I didn't really care for the poultry seasoning. Next time I'll just use seasoned salt and pepper. Otherwise it was an easy recipe.

Aside from the serving size being off (no way this serves 6) it's a delicious and easy recipe. I like that it was heavy on the celery because I like a good crunch in my chicken salad.
