Chicken Pate Tea Sandwiches Recipes

CURRIED CHICKEN TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine chicken, apple, cranberries, celery, pecans, and green onions in a bowl. Mix mayonnaise, lime juice, and curry powder in a small bowl. Fold mayonnaise mixture into chicken mixture; stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Cut each bread slice with a 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter; top with a lettuce leaf and chicken salad.

CHICKEN SALAD TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine chicken, apple, walnuts, mayonnaise, basil, dill, and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until all ingredients are blended together.
• Spread chicken mixture onto bread and place a slice on top to form a sandwich. Repeat with remaining slices and mixture. Cut sandwiches into quarters and serve.

CHICKEN PASTE OR CHICKEN TEA SANDWICH FILLING

Steps:

• In a large pot of water, place the chicken breasts. Add bay leaf, pepper corns and salt and even a stalk of celery and a carrot if handy. Bring to a boil and simer for about 45 minutes until chicken is cooked but not rubber. Drain, rinse and cool.
• If you are fortunate enough to have a splendid Kitchen Aid, use the meat grinder attachment. An old fashoind meat grinder works just as well and adds 'character' to your work. LOL Break the cooled chicken into pieces and run through the meat grinder. Put the onion and celery through as well (optional). Mix evenly. It should be very crumbley. Add enough mayonaise to bind and mix well, you want the paste to be moist but not wet. Add the rest of the ingredients to taste. Chill and enjoy on your choice of bread. Add a little more mayonaise and perhaps some cripsy bacon if you want to use it as spread for crackers. Enjoy!
