Chicken breast pâté

Appetizers - Chicken breast pâté by Gabriela L. - Recipia

Mince the chicken breast as finely as possible before mixing it, so the chicken breast pâté spreads easily and has no large fibrous pieces. Whole-grain mustard and cream cheese bind it into a dense paste, speckled with mustard seeds and dill. I like how the mustard seeds stay whole on toasted bread. Prep: 10 minutes. Cook: 0 minutes. Rest: 30 minutes. Total time: 40 minutes. Servings: 2. Approximately 240 kcal and 40 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 250 g boiled or oven-roasted chicken breast
  • 2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
  • 2 tablespoons low-fat cream cheese
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon seasoning

Preparation

1. Finely mince the boiled or oven-roasted chicken breast in a food processor or meat grinder. 2. Add the whole-grain mustard, cream cheese, dill, salt, pepper and seasonings. Mix until you have a smooth paste. 3. Cover and refrigerate the pâté for 30 minutes.

Notes

Boiled chicken breast usually makes a softer paste; oven-roasted chicken breast can be drier if the edges have browned too much. The pâté can sometimes remain a little coarse, especially if the meat was well roasted; if so, run it through the food processor once more before mixing everything together. Make it about half an hour before the meal; if you increase the amount, blend it in two batches so you don’t overcrowd the bowl. Serve a few cucumber slices alongside the toast. Keep it covered in the fridge and use within 3 days. Low-fat cream cheese can be replaced with the same amount of regular cream cheese; this dish contains dairy.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use turkey breast?

Yes, use 200 g of cooked turkey breast and mince it just as you would the chicken.

What should I do if the pâté seems too soft?

Leave it covered in the fridge for another 20 minutes, then check the texture again.

Can I replace the whole-grain mustard with smooth mustard?

Yes, start with 1 teaspoon of smooth mustard and adjust the taste before adding more.
