This is my go too sandwich!! I bring them to everything!! I instead of 1/4 cup of mayo I mix 1 tablespoon of Mayo with 1 tablespoon of Miracle whip. I always serve it on Mini- Croissants with Boston Bib!!

It is good but I would have like some additional flavor, from some spices. This would have gone great with the texture of the sandwich. I threw in a small granny smith apple - peeled, cored and small cubes - which was a personal addition. Next time I will experiment with a touch of curry powder.

Yum! Instead of pecans, I used cashews. I also added apples to bulk it up a bit. It was awesome! I had it on wheat bread one day and had it on rye bread today. A nutty multi-grain would also be great with this!

This was an excellant chicken salad sandwich. I'm not usually a fan...but I loved all the textures and flavors in your recipe. The filling was sweet, tart, tangy, satisfying and very filling. I used a sesame bagel and romain hearts as that is what I had on hand. Thanks for sharing your tasty version, which I will make again.

This was a nice chicken salad and I enjoyed it, but I felt that it needed a little extra something. I'm not quite sure what - but just something to give it a bit more flavor. Celery would probably make a nice addition too. Thanks for sharing this recipe.
