Almond-Crusted Curry Chicken Salad Tea Sandwiches image

Categories     Bread     Salad     Tea     Chicken     Almond     Simmer     Boil

Yield makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup sliced blanched almonds
1 whole skinless and boneless chicken breast (about 10 ounces)
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 small onion, unpeeled and quartered
4 whole black peppercorns
5 cups water
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 tablespoons mango chutney
3/4 teaspoon white-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
24 thin slices white bread

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet, and toast until fragrant and golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool, and gently crush. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken, salt, onion, peppercorns, and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool; reserve the stock for another use.

Arrange the sandwiches in a single row on the serving tray; they should rest on one long edge with the short ends standing upright. Spread a dab of reserved curry mayonnaise on the short ends, and gently pat on the almonds. Serve immediately. (Do not cover with damp paper towels, or the almonds will become soft.)

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium onion, skin on, sliced in half
6 black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
2 sprigs fresh thyme
One 3 1/2-pound chicken, giblets removed, rinsed and patted dry
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
3 scallions, white and light-green parts only, thinly sliced crosswise to yield 1/4 cup
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
24 very thin slices of white sandwich bread
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
Mizuna leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add sesame seeds and shake the skillet gently, moving the seeds around, until they are aromatic, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Place the onion, peppercorns, bay leaf, and thyme in a large pot. Add the chicken to the pot with just enough cold water to cover. Cover and bring to a simmer. Uncover and cook for 1 hour. Drain the chicken, reserving the cooking liquid, and set the chicken aside to cool. Discard the seasonings and refrigerate or freeze the stock for future use. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and discard. Shred the meat from the chicken and then chop it until very fine. Refrigerate, covered, until well chilled.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and sesame oil. Add this to the chicken and combine well. Add the cilantro, chives, and scallions and combine well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to use.
  • Spread each bread slice with butter, reserving some butter for garnishing. Spread an even layer of chicken salad onto half of the slices of bread. Top with the other half of the slices to make sandwiches. Trim the crusts. Cut each sandwich on the diagonal. Arrange the sandwiches long-edge down in a row. Spread the remaining butter along one side of the row. Press the sesame seeds into the buttered edge to cover. Garnish the platter with mizuna leaves and serve.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup toasted sliced blanched almonds
1 whole skinless and boneless chicken breast (about 10 ounces)
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 small onion, unpeeled and quartered
4 whole black peppercorns
5 cups water
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 tablespoons mango chutney
3/4 teaspoon white-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
24 thin slices white bread

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds on a baking sheet, and toast until fragrant and golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool, and gently crush. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine chicken, salt, onion, peppercorns, and the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate to cool; reserve stock for another use.
  • When chicken is cool enough to handle, shred the meat and chop into small pieces. Return to plate; cover, and place in refrigerator until ready to use.
  • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, curry powder, chutney, vinegar, and toasted coconut; stir to combine. Reserve 1/2 cup curry mayonnaise, and stir remaining mayonnaise into chicken. Thinly spread butter on two slices of bread; cover one slice with a thin layer of chicken salad, and top with other bread slice. Set aside. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  • Stack several sandwiches; use a serrated knife to trim crusts and cut into two rectangles. Arrange sandwiches in a single row on the serving tray; they should rest on one long edge with the short ends standing upright. Spread a dab of reserved curry mayonnaise on short ends, and gently pat on almonds. Serve immediately. (Do not cover with damp paper towels or the almonds will become soft.)

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, make sure the chicken is well-coated in the almond mixture before frying.
  • To prevent the chicken from drying out, cook it over medium heat and do not overcook.
  • If you don't have almond flour, you can make your own by grinding almonds in a food processor.
  • You can use any type of curry powder you like. For a milder flavor, use a mild curry powder. For a spicier flavor, use a hot curry powder.
  • If you don't have mayonnaise, you can substitute Greek yogurt or sour cream.
  • For a vegetarian version of this recipe, omit the chicken and add more vegetables, such as diced carrots, celery, or bell peppers.
  • Serve the chicken salad sandwiches with your favorite sides, such as chips, fruit, or a salad.

Conclusion:
