This Pecan Chicken Salad Sandwich comes together so easy and fast using leftover chicken. The creamy mayo, along with the pecans, help to make this chicken salad so flavorful. My favorite way to eat this chicken salad is on top of a toasted croissant. Don’t forget to add some Revolution Farms Lettuce for some crunchy texture. Sounds crazy but the addition of fresh lettuce really brings this entire sandwich together!
Chicken Salad is such an easy and versatile meal. Pair it with a delicious croissant, add it to a lettuce wrap for a low carb option or throw it on top of a salad for a healthy and filling meal! Whichever way you eat it, it’s a meal that never fails.
Adding the Revolutions Farms Lettuce to this recipe gives the sandwich such a nice crunch that you’re not going to want to skip on! Revolution Farms Lettuce is great because it is coming from Michigan instead of the West Coast and therefore has additional shelf life allowing it to last so much longer! There’s nothing worse than your lettuce going bad in the fridge before you’re able to use it.
