These delicate sandwiches were the memorable first course at a Victorian tea we held for the ladies of our congregation. A spread that combines mayonnaise, pecans and cranberries is the perfect complement of the chicken.

1/3 cup chopped fresh or frozen cranberries
2 tablespoons chopped pecans
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
16 slices bread, crusts removed
16 to 24 thin slices cooked chicken
8 lettuce leaves

Combine the first five ingredients; spread on one side of each slice of bread. Layer half the slices with chicken and lettuce. Top with remaining bread. Cut into quarters or decorative shapes.
