Instructions

Finely shred the chicken (see my notes).
Place shredded chicken into a mixing bowl along with all the other filling ingredients and mix well to combine.
Butter each slice of bread all the way to the edges.
Spread the chicken filling (see my notes) evenly over each slice of bread, top with another slice of bread then cut as desired.

Notes

*Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
I shred the chicken using a small food processor - you can also do this by hand. It needs to be fine to get the texture we are looking for.
For me, buttering the bread is not negotiable! Not only for flavour but it acts as a moisture barrier between the chicken filling and the bread.
I dollop the chicken filling onto each slice of bread in 4 smaller "blobs" and then spread these out using a small silicon spatula. It's easier to spread that way.
A serrated bread knife is best for cutting the sandwiches.
When I serve these without crusts, I cut the crusts off the bread before I build the sandwiches. Then I save the crusts to make breadcrumbs.
Cut into dainty finger sandwiches for a fancy high tea feel, or each sandwich into 4 triangles for that deli platter look.
