Ingredients

• 500 grams Chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
• 150 grams Prosciutto
• 150 grams Mortadella
• 200 grams Marinated artichoke hearts (drained and chopped)
• 100 milliliters Heavy cream
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg (freshly grated)
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing the pan)
• 1 roll Plastic wrap
• 1 roll Aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Prepare a loaf pan by greasing it generously with butter and lining it with overlapping sheets of plastic wrap, leaving enough overhang to cover the top later.

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the chicken thighs until finely minced. Transfer half of the minced chicken to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the prosciutto, mortadella, and marinated artichoke hearts to the food processor with the remaining chicken and pulse until it forms a coarse paste. Add this paste to the mixing bowl with the minced chicken.

Step 4

Stir in the heavy cream, eggs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until the mixture is evenly combined.

Step 5

Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Gently press it down and smooth the top with a spatula to eliminate air pockets.

Step 6

Fold the overhanging plastic wrap over the mixture to cover it completely. Then wrap the loaf pan tightly with aluminum foil to seal it.

Step 7

Place the loaf pan in a larger roasting pan and pour hot water into the roasting pan until it reaches halfway up the sides of the loaf pan, creating a water bath.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake for 90 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the terrine reaches 74°C (165°F).

Step 9

Remove the loaf pan from the water bath and let it cool to room temperature. Then refrigerate the terrine for at least 6 hours, or overnight, to set.

Step 10

Once fully chilled, carefully unwrap the plastic wrap and invert the terrine onto a serving plate. Slice and serve with crusty bread, crackers, or a light salad.
