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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt, pepper, or mustard as desired.
Step 4
If using fresh parsley, stir it into the mixture by hand after blending.
Step 5
Transfer the chicken paste into an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Use immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
