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.

TEA ROOM CHICKEN SALAD

CHICKEN SALAD TEA ROOM STYLE



Chicken Salad Tea Room Style image

This is my version of a local tea room/ice cream shop that serves the best chicken salad I've ever had. What makes it so good is the contrast of sweet fruit, the crunchiness of the nuts and a hint of tangy lemon.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

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
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup cream cheese, softened
salt and pepper
2 loaves bread, crusts removed (one dark, one light)
cucumber, slices (optional)
alfalfa sprout (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine the chicken, water chestnuts, green onions, celery, mayonnaise, cream cheese, salt & pepper in a large bowl. If your mixture feels too dry, you can add more mayo & cream cheese, just make sure there is more cream cheese than mayo.
  • 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.
  • Arrange your sandwiches on a serving plate, cover with plastic wrap & refrigerate for several hours.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, free-range chicken, mayonnaise made with real eggs, and crisp celery and grapes all make a big difference in the final product.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken is dry and tough, and it will make your salad less enjoyable. Cook the chicken just until it is cooked through, then remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before shredding it.
  • Use a variety of ingredients to add flavor and texture to your salad. Celery, grapes, walnuts, and hard-boiled eggs are all classic additions, but you can also get creative and add other ingredients that you enjoy, such as dried cranberries, chopped apples, or crumbled bacon.
  • Be careful not to overmix the salad. Overmixing will make the salad mushy and less appetizing. Mix the ingredients just until they are evenly combined.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. If you are chilling the salad, be sure to bring it to room temperature before serving so that the flavors can meld together.

Conclusion:

Tea room chicken salad sandwiches are a classic for a reason. They are easy to make, delicious, and perfect for any occasion. With a few simple tips, you can make the best tea room chicken salad sandwiches that your friends and family will love. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy lunch or dinner idea, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
