The BEST Chicken Finger Sandwich Recipe Ever!
Jump To Recipe

Print Recipe

Chicken Finger Sandwiches

This delicious Chicken Finger Sandwiches recipe is always a favorite sandwich. So easy to make and so delicious. With ketchup and [highlight]herbs seasoning[/highlight] for color and tang, this dressed-up chicken salad is wonderful on bread fingers or served on a lettuce leaf.

Finger sandwiches are the easiest and most requested party food. It’s a lovely way to serve sandwiches and a great way to use up leftover chicken, or great to take as lunch as a normal sandwich. Perfect for afternoon tea.

Photo: Chicken Finger Sandwiches Recipe

The weekend was full of foodie experiences. A few days ago, I decided to do a tea party with a my childhood friend and her child’s and made these as one of the finger foods. They were a HUGE hit with her little girls. They are just so dainty and are perfect for little tea parties (or family gathering, birthdays, .. etc..) plus, they are SUPER easy to make.

The secret of this recipe is fresh herbs. You can make a variety of sandwiches as well, using egg salad, chicken salad, or tuna as layers– just make sure you chop or process the ingredients up enough so it spreads easily.

Photo: Chicken Finger Sandwiches Recipe

Note: These can be served immediately but in my opinion they taste best when refrigerated at least 2 hours– they will easily keep if made a day ahead of time.

Garbanzo Beans Chaat ( Clean Eating Version)

Garbanzo Beans or Chickpeas are a nutrient-rich food, providing high amounts of protein, fiber, iron, potassium, manganese, copper, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin B-6 and thiamine, making them a healthy addition to any diet.

They may also help you lose weight, especially if you eat them instead of higher-fat sources of protein like beef, or chicken. They are high in dietary fibre which means it’s harder for the body to digest them, in turn making their glyceminc index low.

I love fried fish. While it make my tummy rumble in ecstasy, my blood vessels are shuttering with fear of all that cholesterol. 😛

We usually have the batter made out of white flour, or maybe cornflour (hello, sky-high insulin), and then deep-fried in some vat of polyunsaturated fat that has been used over and over, creating a huge batch of trans-fat laden ooze that your fish is swimming in before it reaches your plate, all to wreck havoc on your health. Okay, so maybe now you don’t love fried fish so much? Sorry to ruin it for ya! But here’s my healthy, and lip-smacking alternative!!

In this Salmon Fish Fry recipe I have used Salmon fish which cook well of the bone. You can experiment with other fish. Meatier fish like tilapia fish, Sole and halibut work very well too.Salmon fish tastes the best when marinated with spices and fried. I had this salmon fish fry with the roasted veggies and such a treat it was…. the perfect delicious clean eating meal.
