🛒 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken
    Use cooked chicken breast and shred it finely using two forks,

    • Mayonnaise
    • Dijon mustard

    Mix until smooth and creamy.

  3. Add the Seasonings

    Mix well so the flavors blend evenly.
  4. Add the Chicken
    Fold the shredded chicken into the creamy mixture until fully combined.
  5. Add Fresh Herbs
    Stir in chopped parsley and any optional ingredients
    such as green onions, lemon juice, or celery.
  6. Chill (Optional)
    For best flavor, refrigerate the spread for about
    30 minutes before serving.
