Number Of Ingredients 10

5 -6 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and diced
1 (5 ounce) can water chestnuts, diced
2 -3 green onions, chopped
1 stalk celery, diced

cucumber, slices (optional)

Steps:

  • Spread some of the mixture on top of the light bread. (Spread immediately--do not refrigerate and then spread, it will become too difficult to spread).
  • Top with the dark bread, cut in half (making 2 triangles).
  • Wipe your knife off often as you cut to keep the sandwiches clean-looking.
  • You can add some cucumber or alfalfa sprouts inside each triangle, if desired.

There is a very nice flavor and will vary depending on the chutney you use. I have mango trees, so have copious quantities of various mango chutneys. It is great as a tea sandwich!

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 5m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces chicken, cooked and shredded
1/4 cup celery, finely diced
3 tablespoons red onions, finely diced
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1/4 cup plain yogurt (sour cream if you don't have it. Don't use mayo if the sandwiches are going to sit out.)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup mango chutney (or some other chutney)
salt
pepper
4 tablespoons butter (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine everything in a small bowl and mix well.
  • A VERY thin bread is great, otherwise choose what you like.

  • Cut into squares, rectangles or triangles. If triangles, place on plate points up.
  • If you have made this ahead of time cover with wax paper and then a damp tea towel to keep them moist.

These Asian-inspired sandwiches crusted with sesame seeds look particularly dramatic when lined up side by side. Toasting the sesame seeds deepens their flavor, so do not omit this step.

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.

CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD TEA SANDWICHES



Curried Chicken Salad Tea Sandwiches image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 16 tea sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups diced cooked chicken breast (about 12 ounces)
3/4 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts
3 tablespoons chopped scallions, white and green parts (about 2 scallions)
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
1/2 medium Fuji apple, peeled, cored and diced (about 3/4 cup)
8 slices square, firm whole-wheat bread

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken, cranberries, mayonnaise, walnuts, scallions, curry powder and apple and mix to thoroughly combine.
  • Cut the crusts from the bread and set aside for another purpose.
  • Using 2 slices of the bread, make a sandwich, taking care to spread the chicken salad in an even layer all the way to the edges of the bread. With a large serrated knife, cut the sandwich diagonally in both directions to create 4 equal triangles. Repeat with the remaining bread and salad to make 16 tea sandwiches.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful chicken, mayonnaise, celery, and bread. Avoid using pre-packaged or processed ingredients whenever possible.
  • Cook the chicken perfectly: The chicken should be cooked until it is tender and juicy, but not dry or overcooked. Poaching or roasting the chicken is a great way to achieve this.
  • Use a good-quality mayonnaise: The mayonnaise is one of the key ingredients in chicken salad, so it's important to use a good-quality brand that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: Feel free to add other ingredients to your chicken salad, such as chopped hard-boiled eggs, diced pickles, or chopped walnuts.

Conclusion:

Chicken salad tea sandwiches are a classic afternoon tea treat that are easy to make and always a hit with guests. By following the tips above, you can make the best chicken salad tea sandwiches that are sure to impress your friends and family.
