2
Combine the chicken with the spring onions, celery, sour cream, mayo, mustard, parsley, dill, salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon
3
Use a circle cookie cutter to create circles in the bread. Lightly butter and place 2 heaped tbsp of chicken mixture in the middle. Top with another lightly buttered slice of bread. Continue using all slices of bread
4
Use a vegetable peeler to slice the cucumber into ribbons
5
Assemble the cucumber ribbons onto skewers in a Christmas tree shape and place one into each chicken skewer to secure
