Chicken Salad Sandwiches with Smoked Almonds |
- 1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 1⅓ cup mayonnaise-plus an additional ½ cup for coating
- ⅓ cup minced green onions
- 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and grated
- 2 tsp minced fresh tarragon leaves
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning {an herb blend found with spices, a.k.a. "Tuscan" seasoning}
- salt & pepper to taste
- 1 loaf of sliced whole wheat bread
- 2 cups coarsely chopped smoked almonds
- In a bowl stir together chicken, mayonnaise, green onions, tarragon, Tuscan Seasoning, and additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Make sandwiches with chicken salad and bread, pressing together gently. Cut the crusts off of the sandwiches and cut into thirds {or fourths} for finger size sandwiches.
- Put almonds on a plate and spread edges of each finger sandwich with remaining ½ cup mayonnaise to coat well. Roll edges in almonds.
- Sandwiches may be made 2 hours ahead, wrapped in plastic wrap, and chilled.
I used 12 slices of bread to make 6 large sandwiches, which I cut into thirds to get 18 finger sandwiches.
