These sandwiches are best served warm. They can be paired with chips, salad, or fresh fruit. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. For added flavor, mix in herbs or spices to the chicken salad. You may experiment with different types of bread or even make a wrap instead.
