For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the bread lightly before assembling the sandwiches. If you prefer a tangier flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a dash of apple cider vinegar to the chicken salad mixture. Customize the nuts to your liking by using walnuts, almonds, or even sunflower seeds instead of pecans. If you use rotisserie chicken, remove the skin first.
