Chicken Salad Croissant Sandwich

Chicken salad sandwiches became popular in American tea rooms and lunch counters throughout the early to mid-20th century, prized for their light, creamy filling. Pairing the salad with a buttery French croissant instead of standard bread became a trendy upgrade in American cafes and bakeries by the 1980s.
