Chicken-Cucumber Party Sandwiches - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup mayonnaise (reduced fat is okay, do not use fat-free)
3 cups finely diced cooked chicken
3/4 cup peeled seeded and diced cucumber
3 celery ribs, finely diced
1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
6 green onions, chopped small
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste, I use seasoned salt)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
84 slices fresh white bread or 84 slices whole wheat bread

Preparation

In a medium size bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese and the mayo until well blended (I use a whisk).
With a wooden spoon, stir in the chicken and the next 7 ingredients.
Cover and chill the filling for 4-24 hours.
When ready to prepare the sandwiches after the 4-24 hour chilling time cut the crusts off of the bread slices.
Using cookie cutters, or assorted metal shaped cutters (medium-size round biscuit cutters work great too), cut the bread slices into desired shapes.
Spread half of the bread shapes with the chicken mixture, and top with the matching shape.
Roll the sandwich edges in chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap until ready to use.
