Arby’s Chicken Salad Sandwich

You don’t need to limit yourself to just a sandwich with this chicken salad; you could put this in a large tortilla for a wrap. This chicken salad would go well in a submarine bun; I loved this with toasted sourdough bread. Honestly, this goes well; it’s only scooped out and placed on a salad.

If you don’t have any grilled chicken around, you could use leftover chicken that you may have from a baked chicken. If you need to grill your chicken, I will grill up 1 to 1 1/4 pounds for this recipe.

This recipe is very flexible, you could add a little more or a little less of any of these ingredients, and you will come up with a great-tasting chicken salad sandwich.

While they do not toast their pecans, I think you could quickly bring this salad to the next level by toasting the pecans in a skillet over medium-high heat until they become fragrant. Allow the pecans to cool completely before preparing the chicken salad.

How to Make Your Own Arby’s Pecan Chicken Salad Sandwich recipe

Place the diced apples into a medium-sized bowl. Pour one tablespoon of lemon juice over the apples and gently stir to ensure they are coated, preventing them from browning.
Next, add the chicken, grapes, celery, and pecans to the same bowl, and thoroughly mix all the ingredients together.
Add 1/2 cup of mayonnaise to the mixture and stir until everything is well combined. Add 1/4 cup of mayonnaise as needed if the mixture seems too dry. Season the salad with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.

Cover the bowl and let the flavors meld together in the refrigerator for about 1 hour before serving.
To serve the chicken salad as a sandwich, take about 1 cup of the prepared chicken salad and place it between two thick slices of wheat bread and a few lettuce leaves. Enjoy your delicious chicken salad sandwich!

Recipe Variations for the Arby’s Pecan Chicken Salad Sandwich

If you do not like pecans, you could use almonds, walnuts, or even pinenuts. If you do not want to use red grapes, you could swap these for cranberries or even raisins. I sometimes like to add about 1/2 cup of diced celery to the salad for some added crunch. If you are trying to save on carbs consider making the sandwich in a lettuce wrap.
