Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g Cooked chicken breast
- 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Butter (softened)
- 1 tsp Mustard (Dijon or English)
- 1 tsp Lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (finely chopped, optional)
Instructions
Place the cooked chicken breast into a food processor and pulse until finely shredded. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse lightly; for a smoother paste, process for a few additional seconds.
Add mayonnaise, softened butter, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the food processor. Blend until the mixture forms a smooth, spreadable paste. Stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or mustard as desired.
If using fresh parsley, stir it into the mixture by hand after blending.
Transfer the chicken paste into an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Spread the chicken paste evenly over slices of bread for tea sandwiches. Pair it with thin slices of cucumber or watercress for an elegant touch, if desired.
Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
