Ingredients
Chicken filling
- 500 g cooked chicken I used rotisserie chicken
- ⅔ cup mayonnaise I used whole egg
- ⅔ cup sour cream I used low-fat
- ½ cup walnuts chopped
- 1 rib celery finely diced
- 2 shallots (green onion/scallion) finely sliced
- 3 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1½ tablespoon fresh dill finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon fine (cooking) salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
To assemble sandwiches
- 16 slices white bread
- salted butter for spreading on bread
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.
