These little beauties take a bit of assembling, but are so worth the effort. Make extras.
10 slices of sandwich bread, crusts removed
Salted butter, softened (for spreading)
3 cups poached chicken breast, diced
2 stalks celery, finely diced
3 scallions, thinly sliced
3 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh tarragon
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 thin English cucumber, sliced into thin circles
Butter all 10 slices of bread, and arrange them into pairs (5 tops and 5 bottoms). Next, in a large bowl, combine all the ingredients—except for the cumbers—and mix well. Divide the chicken salad evenly atop 5 of the bread slices. Add a layer of cucumbers, and top with the second piece of bread (buttered side down). Cut each sandwich into 3 tea sandwiches, and garnish each with cucumbers. t8n
