Steps:
- Bring broth or water to a boil in a large skillet and add chicken breasts.
- Reduce heat to a simmer and poach chicken, turning once, for about 7 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and leave chicken in broth as it cools for about 20 minutes.
- Discard the skin and finely shred the chicken into a bowl.
- Stir together chicken, 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, shallot, tarragon, and seasoning to taste.
- Make 12 sandwiches with chicken salad and bread, pressing together gently. With a 2-inch round cutter, cut 2 rounds from each sandwich.
- Spread edges of rounds with remaining 1/2 cup mayonnaise to coat well and then roll the edges in the chopped almonds.
- If you decide to use croissants you may prefer to add the chopped almonds directly to the chicken mixture.
- These sandwiches may be made 2 hours ahead, wrapped, and chilled.
