The Best Chicken Salad

The title says it all. This is the best chicken salad recipe. I have only eaten it on croissants so that is what I recommend for it to be the best but I am sure it will work on any bread. Some people don't like fruit in their chicken salad but I have served this to some of "those people" and they really liked it too. If you REALLY don't like fruit in your chicken salad and don't want to even be brave enough to attempt it, then just leave it out.
