Roasted Chicken Salad Bites

This is a great sandwich for a picnic or to pack for lunch.  It is light and fresh.  Takes a little preparation first but it is well worth it.  I enjoy the grapes and mandarin oranges in it and I hope you do to.  I toyed with the idea of making homemade croissants but it just did not happen.  Maybe another time.

Have a great picnic.
