chicken spread | Marryl All Write

I’ve made chicken salads or spreads before. When I want something sweet, I make the Filipino Chicken Sandwich spread that I’ve posted here. But this one I’m sharing is my go-to recipe for the ultimate Chicken Spread/Salad which I’ve adjusted to suit my taste. I’d have to say it’s The Best Chicken Spread I’ve made. Yes, BEST because hubby says so You can’t argue with him. We eat our way through life, remember?

It’s so quick and easy to make but the best thing about is that it’s oh so good, your friends will ask for the recipe. I’ve had many requests for the recipe.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts boiled and chopped (I add 1/4 cup of white wine when boiling. I prefer breasts with bones in so I can use the stock for cooking. Add 1 bay leaf, 1 chicken cubes and some peppercorns when boiling)
3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1/2 – 3/4 cup of celery, chopped
1 1/2 -2 tsp. lemon juice
200 ml of mayo 3/4 cup and a tablespoon
1/8 cup of sour cream (optional)
1 small white onion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
a pinch of salt

I mix all the dry ingredients first: chicken, onions, eggs and celery. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the rest of the ingredients like mayo, sour cream and lemon juice. Add a pinch of sugar. Pop it in the fridge and that’s it!

The best thing about this dish is that, I can have them for breads or crackers as a chicken spread and for vegetable salads as well.

After I boil the chicken, I divide it into two to make a spread and the other for a vegetable salad:

1. Vegetable Salad- chop them in chunkier pieces and add lesser mayo. Mix it with romaine lettuce, apples, carrots, cucumber, etc.

2. Chicken Spread – put everything in the food processor so the chicken is finely chopped and I can have it as a spread. You may also just chop it finely and toss everything together and you have the best chicken spread that you can keep in the fridge and serve to family and friends for a party.

That’s why I call it my Ultimate Chicken Salad recipe.

Let me know what you think.

What can you do with leftover roasted chicken?

Make yourself some really delicious chicken spread. No, this isn’t your usual chicken spread. It’s Filipino-style chicken sandwich spread.

I had some leftover roasted chicken from last night’s dinner and thought I might as well make myself some Filipino-style chicken spread. Yes, it’s Filipino-style when it’s got just the right amount of sweetness from the condensed milk or sugar. It’s so easy to make but tastes really good. You should try making this. Just throw all the ingredients in a bowl, mix and that’s it!

Here’s what you’ll need:

a cup of leftover roasted chicken, cubed or shredded
quarter of a cup of chopped celery (you can add more if you want)
a quarter of a cup or half a cup of carrots, chopped
a quarter of a cup of white onion, finely chopped
a tablespoon of condensed milk
3/4 – a cup of mayonnaise
salt & pepper to taste

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. Season with salt & pepper to taste. You may add a tablespoon more of condensed milk. Spread over toasted baguette or crackers.

For leftover spread, just put in a tightly-sealed container and pop it in the fridge. You can have these stored for up to a week or even up to ten days.

Enjoy!
