Step 3: Prepare the Chicken
If you haven’t already, cook your chicken (boiled, baked, or leftover roasted chicken works great). Shred or finely chop it so it blends easily into the spread.
Step 4: Blend Everything Together
In a food processor or blender, combine:
- Cooked chicken
- Softened carrots
- Sautéed onion and garlic
- Mayonnaise
- Cream cheese
Blend until smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse instead of blending continuously.
Step 5: Season to Perfection
Add salt, pepper, and any optional spices like paprika or herbs. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. The balance between creamy, savory, and slightly sweet should feel just right.
Step 6: Chill Before Serving
Transfer the spread to a container and refrigerate for at least 30–60 minutes. This helps the flavors meld together and improves the texture.

Storage Tips
