How to cook Chicken breast pate

Step 1

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper and steam, 12-15 minutes, depending on size. Wrap in foil and chill. Check through a meat grinder. Peel the onion and garlic, cut into medium pieces. Sauté the onion and garlic with salt and pepper in the oil mixture over low heat, 15 minutes.

Step 2

Pour in the warm chicken broth and beat with an immersion blender until a smooth mass is obtained. Transfer it to a large bowl in which you will cook the pate.

Step 3

Mix ground chicken with onion sauce until smooth, season with more salt and pepper if needed. Cover the chicken breast pâté with cling film and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Serve with baguette toast, butter and olives.

Chicken breast pate - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

Yes, chicken thighs can be used for a richer flavor. Ensure they are boneless and skinless. Adjust cooking time as needed to ensure they're fully cooked before grinding.

How long will this chicken breast pate last in the refrigerator?

The chicken breast pate will last for 3-4 days in the refrigerator when stored in an airtight container.

Can I freeze the chicken breast pate?

Yes, you can freeze it. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil, or store it in a freezer-safe container. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

What can I use instead of chicken broth?

You can use vegetable broth or even water mixed with a bouillon cube as a substitute for chicken broth.

What if I don't have an immersion blender?

A regular blender or food processor can be used instead of an immersion blender. Be careful when blending hot liquids.

Can I add any herbs or spices to enhance the flavor?

Absolutely! Thyme, rosemary, or a pinch of nutmeg can add a lovely depth of flavor to the pate. Add them while sauteing the onions and garlic.

Is there a vegetarian alternative to this recipe?

For a vegetarian version, you could use cooked white beans or lentils as a base instead of chicken. Sauté mushrooms with the onions and garlic for a similar savory flavor.

How can I make this pate lower in fat?

Use reduced-sodium chicken broth and trim any visible fat from the chicken breasts before cooking. You can also reduce the amount of oil used for sauteing the onions and garlic.
