One of the suggestions for the Bridal Shower Tea Party menu is Chicken Salad. It can be served as finger sandwiches on white or brown bread, on croissant, in pate a choux, on party rolls just to mention a few possibilities. Here is my master recipe and lots of add-ins.
5 cups cooked, cubed chicken from about 2 whole chicken breasts (serves 6-8)
1 ½ cups mayonnaise
salt and pepper to taste
Add-ins:
green onion
celery
capers
olives, black or green
finely chopped herbs: parsley, tarragon, mint or thyme
grapes, red or green
almonds or walnuts

apples, skin on
Spices: curry powder, cinnamon, red pepper flakes, cumin, ground ginger
