My ladies group at church are putting on a fashion show and tea. I'm in charge of food, so have been experimenting with lots of different recipes for tea sandwiches. This is one of the results. NOTE- you may want to start with a little less curry powder than called for. It's easier to add more, than to take away!

How To Make curried chicken salad tea sandwiches

  • 1
    If starting with fresh chicken that you will be cooking, rub 1/2 of the curry powder on the breasts and roast in a 350ºF oven for about 20 minutes, then cool. You will need about 2 large chicken breasts, or 1 12 oz. can of chicken or 1/2 of a rotisserie chicken, keeping in mind that some of the meat won't be breast meat.
  • 2
    Mix remaining curry powder with jam, sour cream and mayo.
  • 3
    Add chicken, celery, onion and apple to the dressing. Taste for salt and pepper.
  • 4
    Place greens on 4 slices of bread, top with 1/4 of the chicken salad and finally a thin slice or two of tomato. Cover with remaining bread
  • 5
    Carefully trim crusts from bread. Cut each sandwich into triangles or fingers.
