For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the bread slices lightly before toasting. If you prefer a tangier salad, add a tablespoon of Dijon mustard to the mayonnaise mixture. Toasted walnuts or pecans can be substituted for the cashews for a different nutty flavor profile. If you don't have leftover grilled chicken, you can use rotisserie chicken or pan-fried chicken breast. For a lighter option, serve the chicken salad over a bed of mixed greens instead of in a sandwich.
