The chicken is tossed with avocado oil mayonnaise, capers and dill relish, then layered on crusty bread with sliced radishes and butter lettuce. You can vary the flavor by adding herbs or some finely diced roasted red peppers. -David Ross, Spokane Valley, Washington

These Asian-inspired sandwiches crusted with sesame seeds look particularly dramatic when lined up side by side. Toasting the sesame seeds deepens their flavor, so do not omit this step.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium onion, skin on, sliced in half
6 black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
2 sprigs fresh thyme
One 3 1/2-pound chicken, giblets removed, rinsed and patted dry
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons snipped fresh chives
3 scallions, white and light-green parts only, thinly sliced crosswise to yield 1/4 cup
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
24 very thin slices of white sandwich bread
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds
Mizuna leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat a heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add sesame seeds and shake the skillet gently, moving the seeds around, until they are aromatic, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Place the onion, peppercorns, bay leaf, and thyme in a large pot. Add the chicken to the pot with just enough cold water to cover. Cover and bring to a simmer. Uncover and cook for 1 hour. Drain the chicken, reserving the cooking liquid, and set the chicken aside to cool. Discard the seasonings and refrigerate or freeze the stock for future use. When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and discard. Shred the meat from the chicken and then chop it until very fine. Refrigerate, covered, until well chilled.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and sesame oil. Add this to the chicken and combine well. Add the cilantro, chives, and scallions and combine well. Add salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to use.
  • Spread each bread slice with butter, reserving some butter for garnishing. Spread an even layer of chicken salad onto half of the slices of bread. Top with the other half of the slices to make sandwiches. Trim the crusts. Cut each sandwich on the diagonal. Arrange the sandwiches long-edge down in a row. Spread the remaining butter along one side of the row. Press the sesame seeds into the buttered edge to cover. Garnish the platter with mizuna leaves and serve.

CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES

Our Chicken Salad Sandwiches make for delectable finger sandwiches that are perfect for active parties, where guests may not sit down for a full meal.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Yield Serves 12 to 14

Number Of Ingredients 13

Two 14 1/2-ounce cans low-sodium chicken broth
2 cups water
1 celery stalk with leaves, cut lengthwise into four pieces, plus 1/2 cup finely diced celery
1 carrot, peeled and cut lengthwise into four pieces
1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
1 dried bay leaf
5 whole black peppercorns
1 whole boneless and skinless chicken breast (about 1/2 pound)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 cup mayonnaise
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 loaf whole-wheat bread, sliced and crusts removed
1/2 head green-leaf lettuce, leaves separated

Steps:

  • Place chicken broth and the water in a medium saucepan. Add celery stalk pieces, carrot, onion, bay leaf, and peppercorns; bring mixture just to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and add chicken breast. Poach until chicken is cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate; let cool.
  • Transfer chicken to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade; process until it is finely ground. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add mustard, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, and remaining 1/2 cup diced celery. Season with salt and pepper, and stir well to combine. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until needed.
  • Make sandwiches: Spread a dab of remaining 1/2 cup mayonnaise on one side of each of the bread slices. Top half the slices with a thin layer of chicken salad and a few lettuce leaves; cover with remaining bread slices. Cut sandwiches in half. Stack several, and wrap well in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • To make the chicken salad more flavorful, use a combination of white and dark meat chicken. Dark meat chicken has a richer flavor than white meat chicken.
  • Use high-quality mayonnaise. The mayonnaise is one of the main ingredients in chicken salad, so it's important to use a good-quality mayonnaise that has a rich flavor.
  • Add some crunch to the chicken salad by adding chopped celery, onion, and grapes. These ingredients will add a nice contrast to the creamy chicken salad.
  • Season the chicken salad to taste with salt, pepper, and paprika. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried thyme.
  • Chill the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together and will make the chicken salad easier to spread.
  • Serve the chicken salad on your favorite bread, such as white bread, wheat bread, or croissants. You can also serve the chicken salad on a bed of lettuce.

Conclusion:

Tea Room Chicken Salad Sandwiches are a classic Southern dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste.
