1/4 cup mayonnaise |
1 teaspoon grated onion |
1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 can (4-1/2 ounces) chunk white chicken, drained |

2 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley |
18 pieces (1 inch each) julienned carrot |

1. In a large bowl, combine the first four ingredients; stir in chicken and celery; set aside. With a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread to 1/8-in. thickness; cut into 2-1/2-in. squares. Spread with butter. Roll up into a funnel shape, overlapping the two adjacent sides; secure with a toothpick.
2. Spoon about 1 teaspoon chicken filling into each sandwich. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate for 1 hour.
3. Remove toothpicks. Sprinkle sandwiches with parsley. Insert a carrot piece into the filling of each sandwich. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
