Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Plain Greek yogurt (optional, for added tanginess)
- 1 teaspoon Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (optional)
- 8 slices Soft white or whole wheat bread
- 2 tablespoons Softened butter (for spreading on bread)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt (if using), curry powder, honey, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
Add the shredded or diced chicken to the bowl and gently mix until the chicken is evenly coated with the curry dressing. If desired, stir in the chopped parsley or cilantro for freshness.
Lightly spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each bread slice. This helps prevent the bread from getting soggy.
Spread a generous layer of the curry chicken mixture onto 4 slices of bread, on the unbuttered side. Be sure to spread it evenly to cover the entire surface.
Top each with another slice of bread, buttered side facing out, to form a sandwich.
Using a sharp knife, carefully trim the crusts off each sandwich to create clean edges. Cut each sandwich into 4 small triangles or rectangles, depending on your preference.
Serve immediately as part of a tea spread, or refrigerate the sandwiches in an airtight container until ready to serve. Best enjoyed within 4 hours of preparation.
