Save this recipe, because it’s a real treasure. I’ve forwarded it to everyone who’s said hello.
It looks like your recipe has a small mix-up in the instructions—specifically, “air fryer” and “smoked salmon” appear to be accidentally included in the blending step (they don’t belong in the mixture unless you’re intentionally making a smoked salmon-chicken spread, which is unusual).
Assuming you’re aiming for a creamy chicken & carrot spread or dip (similar to a chicken salad or savory pâté), here’s a clear, corrected version of your recipe:
Creamy Chicken & Carrot Spread
A smooth, flavorful spread perfect for toast, crackers, or sandwiches
Ingredients:
- 1 baked (or boiled) chicken breast, shredded
- 2 medium carrots, boiled until tender (not firm—soft enough to blend)
- 2 tbsp cream cheese or ricotta
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 1 garlic clove (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
-
💡 Tips:
- For a dairy-free version, use avocado or hummus instead of cream cheese.
- Add a pinch of paprika or dill for extra flavor.
- This spread keeps in the fridge for 3–4 days.A drizzle of olive oil or lemon juice (for brightness)
- Cook the chicken: Poach or boil the chicken breast in salted water with herbs (like thyme or bay leaf) until cooked through (165°F / 74°C). Shred or chop finely.
- Cook the carrots: Boil or steam until very tender (about 10–12 minutes). Drain well.
- Blend: In a food processor or high-power blender, combine:
- Shredded chicken
- Cooked carrots
- Cream cheese (or ricotta)
- Mayonnaise (if using)
- Garlic (if using)
- Lemon juice or olive oil
- Pulse until you reach a smooth, creamy consistency (scrape down sides as needed).
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Chill for 30+ minutes to let flavors meld (optional but recommended).
- Serve cold with:
- Toasted baguette slices
- Pita bread or crackers
- Veggie sticks for dipping
Enjoy your wholesome, homemade chicken spread! 🥖✨.
