I catered a trunk show at a wonderful clothing store in San Marino, CA called Serafina. If you live in the area, you must stop by, their things are exquisite. I made tea sandwiches. These Chicken Salad sandwiches were a big hit.
- Prep: 30 mins
- Cook: 20 mins
- Yields: Makes 24 sandwiches
Directions
1In a deep 12-inch skillet bring broth or water to a boil and add chicken breasts in one layer. Reduce heat and poach chicken at a bare simmer, turning once, 7 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and cool chicken in cooking liquid 20 minutes. Discard skin and shred chicken fine.
2In a bowl stir together chicken, 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, shallot, tarragon, and salt and pepper to taste.
3Make 12 sandwiches with chicken salad and bread, pressing together gently. With a 2-inch round cutter cut 2 rounds from each sandwich.
4Put almonds on a small plate and spread edges of rounds with remaining 1/2 cup mayonnaise to coat well. Roll edges in almonds.
Note - Sandwiches may be made 2 hours ahead, wrapped in plastic wrap, and chilled.
