For an extra layer of flavor, toast the pecans lightly before adding them to the salad. If you prefer a sweeter salad, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the mayonnaise mixture. This chicken salad can be made a day ahead of time. Just be sure to store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consider using rotisserie chicken for convenience and added flavor.
