Serves: 6Prep: 20 minCook: 45 min
Ingredients
- 500g (1.1 lb) chicken breast, cut into small cubes
- 200ml (3/4 cup) heavy cream (at least 30% fat), chilled
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg, ground
Instructions
- Place the cubed chicken breast in a food processor and pulse until it reaches a fine, paste-like consistency.
- Add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and nutmeg to the chicken paste and pulse again to incorporate the spices evenly until ready to serve.
- With the processor running on low speed, slowly stream in the chilled heavy cream until the mixture becomes smooth, pale, and emulsified.
- Transfer the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap or aluminum foil, roll it tightly into a cylinder shape, and secure the ends firmly until ready to serve.
- Steam the log in a steamer basket or poach gently in simmering water for 40-45 minutes until firm to the touch.
- Remove from heat, allow to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing.
