🍽️ Result
A smooth, slightly sweet-and-savory Chicken Spread with mild sweetness from carrot and a rich, creamy texture.
💡 Tips
- For smoother texture, blend everything briefly in a food processor
- Add a little olive oil if you want it silkier
- Chill for 30–60 minutes before serving for best flavor
- Finely shredded chicken makes it more “spreadable” and less chunky
If you want, I can also make:
- A healthier high-protein version (no mayo)
- A spicy sandwich spread version
- Or a restaurant-style chicken sandwich filling recipe
