  • Preparation: 130 min
  • Cooking: 15 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (306 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Gluten-free
  • Contains: alcohol, dairy, poultry

Ingredients

  • 40 g Chicken breast, boneless, skinless, raw
  • 220 g Milk, whole
  • 30 g Sugar
  • 15 g Cornstarch
  • 0.5 g Vanilla extract

Method

  1. Poach the chicken breast in water until fully cooked through (no pink, juices run clear, 74 °C/165 °F), then shred it as finely as possible with your fingers or two forks, almost into fine threads, pounding briefly to break up the fibers further.
  2. Whisk the cornstarch into a little of the cold milk until smooth.
  3. Heat the rest of the milk with the sugar until steaming, then whisk in the cornstarch mixture and the shredded chicken.
  4. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for 8-10 minutes until thickened into a smooth pudding; the chicken becomes undetectable in flavor, adding only a subtle silky texture.
  5. Stir in the vanilla, then pour into a bowl or glass and chill for at least 2 hours until set before serving.
