2016-01-14 05:26:45
Yield: 8 tea sandwiches • Preparation: 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 8 slices Italian sandwich bread, such as Arnold Italian
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt*
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2½ cups chopped cooked chicken
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained
- Garnish: 8 fresh basil leaves and 8 cherry tomato slices
Instructions
- Using a 2-inch square cutter, cut 16 squares from bread slices, discarding scraps. Place in a resealable plastic bag to prevent drying out.
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, oregano, and pepper, stirring to blend.
- In a large bowl, combine chicken, basil, and sun-dried tomatoes, stirring to blend. Add mayonnaise mixture, stirring to combine. Refrigerate in a covered container until needed.
- Spread chicken salad evenly onto 8 bread squares. Top each with remaining bread squares.
- Garnish each sandwich with a basil leaf and a tomato slice, if desired.
Notes
- *If you are using a rotisserie chicken for chopped chicken, taste to see if more salt is needed before adding salt to mayonnaise mixture.
- • Chicken salad can be made a day in advance and refrigerated in a covered container until needed. Sandwiches can be made a couple of hours in advance, covered with damp paper towels, and refrigerated in an airtight container. Garnish just before serving.

maravillosa la receta,pero puedo cambiar los tomates secos por otro ingrediente como seria el tomate refrito o por que mas,gracias .Muchos exitos.
¡Hola, Mercy! Gracias por su interés en nuestra revista y en esta receta en particular. No es recomendable sustituir otro tipo de tomate porque eso afectaría la consistencia de la mescla y posiblemente quedaría demasiado mojada. Per al fin y al cabo, la decisión es completamente suya. Si decide hacer la sustitución y le gusta el resultado, por favor háganoslo saber.
