Pressed' Chicken
Ingredients
Directions
Boil the chickens in a small amount of water with a little coarse sea salt until fully cooked.
Remove all the meat from the bones, keeping the light and dark meat separate.
Chop the meat finely and season to taste.
In a pan, layer the dark and light meat.
Add the reserved chicken broth, about 1 cup.
Press the mixture with a small weight.
Once cold, cut into slices.
