HERBAL CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Turn off the heat, add the tea bags and let steep for 5 minutes.
• Remove the tea bags and bring back to a rolling boil. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and the chicken. Cover, reduce the heat to low and poach until fully cooked, about 7 minutes. Drain and transfer the chicken to a small bowl to cool to room temperature.
• Stir together the onions, mayonnaise, yogurt, basil, tarragon, vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Stir in the cooled chicken, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to combine.
• Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes.

CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD TEA SANDWICHES

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.

CHICKEN SALAD TEA SANDWICHES

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.

SESAME-CRUSTED CHICKEN SALAD TEA SANDWICHES

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.
