Almond Chicken Tea Sandwiches Recipes

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.)

Steps:

• Combine chicken, apple, cranberries, celery, pecans, and green onions in a bowl. Mix mayonnaise, lime juice, and curry powder in a small bowl. Fold mayonnaise mixture into chicken mixture; stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Cut each bread slice with a 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter; top with a lettuce leaf and chicken salad.

Steps:

• 1. Mix all ingredients together. Spread on bread.
• 2. Cut the crust off and cut into quarters. Cut each quarter into triangles. Plan on enough for 1 sandwich per guest
• 3. NOTE: If making ahead, add the sliced almonds just before serving or they will lose their crunch.
• 4. The bread I use is from my local safeway store. their Poppy Seed bread. Compliments the chicken so great.. enjoy.

Steps:

• In a deep 12-inch skillet, bring the broth or water to a boil and add the chicken breasts in one layer. Reduce the heat and poach the chicken at a bare simmer, turning once, 7 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and cool the chicken in the cooking liquid 20 minutes. Discard the skin and shred the chicken fine.
• In a large bowl, stir together the chicken, 1/2 cup of the mayonnaise, the shallot, tarragon, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Make 12 sandwiches with the chicken salad and bread, pressing together gently. With a 2-inch round cutter, cut 2 rounds from each sandwich.
• Put the almonds on a small plate and spread the edges of the rounds with the remaining 1/2 cup mayonnaise to coat well. Roll the edges in the almonds.
• Do ahead
• The SANDWICHES may be made 2 hours ahead, wrapped in plastic wrap, and chilled.
