Cook until light brown and slightly crispy.For a picnic, you can bring the cooled bread slices in a plastic bag, and the chicken salad mixture in a disposable container. It is quick and easy to make the sandwiches right on the spot! When assembling the sandwiches, place the filling on the toasted sides of the bread, so the outside of the sandwich will be soft.
