Chicken Croissant Sandwiches

Lil Jacobsen gave Mom this recipe and Aunt Sharon is famous for making them for wedding receptions. They were served at all of our weddings!
6-8 chicken breasts
4 Tbsp. Chicken bouillon
1 Tbsp. Lawry’s salt
2-3 sprigs of fresh parsley
1-2 cloves fresh garlic
2-3 carrots
1/2 red pepper
1 onion cut into quarters
1 tsp. Black pepper
3-4 stalks of celery cut into thirds

In a large pot of water boil chicken and ingredients listed above. Bring to a boil and simmer until the chicken is tender and cooked through. Remove and let chicken cool while covered. (Reserve red pepper and about 2 cups of broth)

1/2 bunch of Celery
1/2 of 32 oz. jar of Mayonnaise
1 cup cashews (best if broken in pieces or halfs)

Cube chicken and chop up celery. Mix in Mayonnaise. Add enough to coat chicken, you may use more or less than what the recipe calls for. Mash red pepper (removing skin) and add to mixture for color. Add about 1 cup of chicken broth so that the mixture is very moist. (If it is stored over night the mixture can become dry so you may need to add more before serving.) Just before serving add cashews and spread on croissant sandwiches. Add a piece of leaf lettuce to each sandwich.

***Amanda's note: I have also had it with sliced grapes and bits of green onion in it... SOOO yummy!
