Mango Chicken Curry Sandwiches
from "The Book of Afternoon Tea" by Lesley Mackley

1/4 lb boneless cooked chicken
2 tsp mango chutney
2 1/2 Tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp lime juice
salt
3 Tbsp butter, softened
4 slices whole wheat bread

With a sharp knife, chop up any large pieces of fruit in the chutney. In a bowl, combine chutney with mayonnaise, curry powder, lime juice, and salt. Mix together well. Stir in chopped chicken.

Butter bread. Divide chicken mixture between buttered sides of 2 bread slices. Cover with remaining bread slices, buttered side down, and press together. Cut off crusts from bread. Cut each sandwich into 4 rectangles or triangles. Arrange on a serving plate, garnished with a lime twist and a dill sprig.
Makes 8.
