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)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and mango chutney until smooth and well blended.
Step 2
Add the shredded or diced chicken, chopped celery, sliced scallions, and toasted almonds to the bowl.
Step 3
Sprinkle in the salt and ground black pepper, then gently fold everything together until evenly coated with the chutney-mayonnaise mixture.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
If desired, place a lettuce leaf over the chicken salad on each sandwich. Top with the remaining slices of bread to form sandwiches.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Serve immediately or cover with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep fresh if serving later.
