Making Sandwiches Ahead of Time: 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)....

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cooked whole chicken breasts, finely chopped
1/4 c finely-chopped nuts
4 celery stalks, finely chopped
salt to taste
mayonnaise (just enough to moisten)
curry powder or paste to taste
16 slice best-quality white bread*
1/2 c unsalted butter, room temperature
* 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.

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine 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 piece of bread lightly with butter. Top the buttered side of 8 slices of bread with some of the chicken mixture and top with the remaining 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.
