Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: English
Keyword: Chicken Curry Tea Sandwich Recipe
Servings: 8 whole sandwiches
Ingredients
  • 2 whole chicken breasts, cooked and finely-chopped
  • 1/4 cup nuts of your choice, finely-chopped
  • 4 celery stalks, finely-chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Mayonnaise (just enough to moisten)
  • Curry powder or paste to taste
  • 16 slices white bread*
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine chopped chicken, nuts, celery, salt, and mayonnaise; stir until well blended.  Add curry powder or paste.  Remember, a little goes a long way with curry - be careful.

  2. Spread one side of each 16 bread slices lightly with butter.  Top the buttered side of 8 slices of bread with some of the chicken mixture.  Top with the remaining 8 bread slices, buttered side down.

  3. Carefully cut the crusts from each sandwich with a long, sharp knife.  Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and then cut in half again.

  4. Yields 8 whole sandwiches or 16 halves or 32 fourths.

  5. Making Tea Sandwiches Ahead of Time:

  6. If you need to make tea sandwiches in advance and need to keep them from drying out, cover them loosely with a sheet of wax paper, and then place a damp kitchen towel over the wax paper (never place a damp towel directly on top of the bread because the sandwiches will become soggy). Refrigerate.

  7. When ready to serve, remove from refrigerator. Uncover sandwiches just before serving.

Recipe Notes

*  Choose the best-quality white or wheat bread as possible.  Never serve end slices.  Freezing the bread before cutting and then spreading makes for easier handling.
