SPECIAL CHICKEN EMBUTIDO

Special Chicken Embutido

Special Chicken Embutido Recipe is something that you should consider for the holidays. It might look intimidating to prepare, but I am telling you that it is easy and quick. Use the step-by-step recipe below along with the cooking video as a guide on how to make this yummy special embutido.

The first thing that I did was to prepare all the ingredients. The carrots, bell pepper, and onions needed to be minced. I quickly did that using a food processor. If you do not have one, that is okay because you can manually cut the veggies into small pieces. It will develop your knife skills in the process. It can be a bit faster if you also ask for a little assistance.

Mixing all the ingredients is the easiest part; all that I did was to combine the ingredients in a bowl (except for boiled eggs) and folded everything until well blended. Once the chicken embutido mixture is ready, I started wrapping it in foil. The boiled eggs that were sliced into wedges (or quartered) were placed in the middle of the mixture. It helps make the dish look pretty later on. This is what I did with our previous pork embutido recipe.

Steam the embutido for an hour to complete the process. You can eat it warm, fried, or chilled. I like mine cold so I had to put it in the fridge for a while.
