Easy Stuffed Chicken Galantine
"Chicken galantine is a French dish of de-boned stuffed meat. Galantine can be made poultry or fish and is poached or roasted in the oven to develop a rich umami flavor. Typically, galantines were poached, served cold, and coated with aspic. Aspic is a savory jelly made with meat stock, and that contain pieces of meat, seafood, or eggs. The filling usually has carrots, green beans, ham, and pistachios. When this dish is sliced, you have a beautiful presentation with specks of colorful veggies dotting the center of each slice."
NotesDeboning a whole chicken might be tricky foe some. If you don’t want to debone a whole chicken, then you can cook the chicken until tender, then the bones are easier to remove. Then do a layer of pulled chicken under a layer of stuffing.
