Tea sandwiches get a bad rap for being time consuming and fussy. But the truth is everyone loves a delish little sammie, especially around the holidays. As a former caterer I love making things as easy and tasty as possible. For this recipe I used store bought chicken salad and chopped it finely before making sandwiches. I used Pepperidge Farm very thinly sliced bread and then added the fancy garnish to makes the sandwiches look super special.
