1 whole chicken breast, poached, boned, and skinned
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 sprig fresh tarragon, chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 loaf whole-grain bread, unsliced, ends removed

  • Cut bread lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices.
  • Place a scoop of chicken mixture between two pieces of bread. Press firmly on sandwich to flatten. Slice sandwich in half or in quarters. Serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh tarragon leaves. If you don't have fresh tarragon, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried tarragon.
  • To make the chicken salad ahead of time, cook and shred the chicken and hard-boil the eggs up to 3 days in advance. Store the chicken and eggs separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
  • When assembling the tea sandwiches, use a light touch so that the bread doesn't get soggy.
  • If you're making the tea sandwiches for a party, you can assemble them up to 2 hours ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap.
  • Serve the tea sandwiches with your favorite tea or other beverage.
