Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast (shredded or finely chopped)
- 2 medium carrots (peeled and chopped)
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter option)
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese (softened)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small garlic clove (minced)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Optional: fresh herbs like parsley or chives
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Cook the Carrots
Start by boiling or steaming the chopped carrots until they become soft and tender. This usually takes about 8–10 minutes. Once done, drain them well and let them cool slightly. Soft carrots are essential for achieving a smooth, creamy texture in the spread.
Step 2: Prepare the Chicken
If you don’t already have cooked chicken, you can quickly boil or pan-cook a chicken breast with a pinch of salt. Once cooked, shred it finely using a fork or chop it into very small pieces. The finer the texture, the smoother your spread will be.
