Chicken Breast Bologna

Ingredients

• 320 g — Chicken breast
• 1 leaf — Bay leaf
• approx. 500 ml — Water for cooking the meat
• 2 cloves (10 g) — Crushed garlic
• 20 ml — Beetroot juice
• 10 g (1 packet) — Gelatin
• a pinch — Sweet smoked paprika
• a pinch — White pepper
• 1 tsp — Table salt (or to taste)
• a pinch — Dried basil

Preparation

I boiled the chicken breast in water with a bay leaf and a pinch of salt, then blended it with a hand blender. I added the crushed garlic, beetroot juice, gelatin hydrated according to the packet instructions, and seasoned to taste. I transferred the mixture into a plastic bottle and left it overnight in the refrigerator.

Notes

1. 1For the log shape, I cut the top off a yogurt bottle and placed the mixture inside; the next day, I cut the bottle with scissors and sliced it easily.
2. 2Use white pepper for a more aesthetic appearance.
3. 3You can omit the paprika if you don't tolerate the smoked flavour.
