Curried Chicken Salad Sandwiches

Serves 6 

3 very large breasts of chicken, poached in lightly salted boiling water for 13 minutes, cut into a 1/2" dice
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup pistachios (salted or unsalted)
1/2 cup dried cranberries
2 T curry powder
2 T honey
1/4 cup tarragon, minced
1 green apple (unpeeled), cut into a 1/2" x 1/2" by 1/4" dice
Juice of 1.5 lemons
Salt to taste

Croissants, halved, and toasted (insides only)
Arugula

Mix all salad ingredients together. Place chicken salad on croissants, top with arugula. Halve sandwiches, as these are VERY messy.

A few possible modifications:
- substitute 1/2 Greek yogurt for the mayo. 
- Serve as a roll-up; much less messy.
