Pineapple Chicken Salad Sandwiches are a great way to make the traditional chicken salad but with a great twist. You might even call it Hawaiian chicken salad because of the deliciously sweet pineapple flavor.
These are great for when you want a quick lunch or a great recipe to use when you have leftover chicken you want to use up and make for the perfect summer meal.
Plus who doesn’t love those wonderfully buttery croissants that you serve the tasty chicken mixture on?
However, if you are looking for a healthier version, you can always serve this fifteen-minute pineapple chicken salad over a bed of lettuce leaves and enjoy it that way too!

My mom uses this same recipe and it’s delicious. She also adds 1 cup of halved grapes to her’s.
i love pineapple chicken salad! I also add the halved grapes. I drain the pineapple and keep the juice and mix it with the mayo and cc for an amazing dressing for the chicken salad!
Tried this, only added some pecans for crunch and swapped half the mayo for pineapple greek yogurt. Yummo!
