Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 0.5 cups Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cups Mango chutney
- 0.5 cups Celery, finely chopped
- 2 Scallions, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cups Almonds, sliced and lightly toasted
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 8 slices Sandwich bread, crusts removed (optional)
- 4 Lettuce leaves (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and mango chutney until smooth and well blended.
Add the shredded or diced chicken, chopped celery, sliced scallions, and toasted almonds to the bowl.
Sprinkle in the salt and ground black pepper, then gently fold everything together until evenly coated with the chutney-mayonnaise mixture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
To make tea sandwiches, lay the slices of bread on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken salad onto half of the slices and spread it evenly, but not too close to the edges.
If desired, place a lettuce leaf over the chicken salad on each sandwich. Top with the remaining slices of bread to form sandwiches.
Gently press down on each sandwich and use a sharp knife to trim off the crusts, if desired. Cut each sandwich diagonally into quarters to create small tea-sized sandwiches.
Serve immediately or cover with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep fresh if serving later.
