Answer 3

I picked up this recipe from attending an English Afternoon Tea class. The chicken sandwiches weren't made the way I always made them. These don't require mayonnaise but they are very good.

I've since added a couple of things to them but they are still very good.

GOLDEN CHICKEN

2 hard-boiled egg yolks
1 tsp butter, melted and cooled
1 tsp lemon juice
1 c minced cooked chicken
1 tsp chicken stock or broth
salt and pepper to taste
small celery stalks with leaves

In a medium-sized bowl, mash egg yolks with a fork. Stir in the butter and lemon juice. Add chicken and stock; season with salt and pepper. Mash to a smooth paste. Make sandwiches with chicken mixture. Garnish with celery.

Now, what I did to the above recipe was add minced celery to the mixture. You could also add some pimiento for a little color. Some diced green onions would also be good in it.

I would also spread some butter on the bread for your sandwich. Chopped nuts would also be good in it. Maybe even some minced grapes or apple.
