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.
