| Parsley, Chicken & Ham Pate
8 ounces of skinless boneless lean chicken, cooked
3 1/2 ounces of lean ham
a small bunch of fresh parsley
1 teaspoon of grated lime zest, plus extra to garnish
2 tablespoons of lime juice
1 garlic clove, peeled
1/4 cup of lowfat cream cheese
salt and pepper

Coarsely dice the chicken. Trim off and discard any fat from the ham and dice the meat. Place the chicken and ham in a blender or food processor.
Add the parsley, lime zest and juice, and garlic and process until finely ground. Alternatively, finely chop the chicken, ham, parsley and garlic and place in a bowl. Gently stir in the lime zest and lime juice.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the cream cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
Spoon the pate into individual serving dishes and garnish with extra grated lime zest. Serve with pate with lime wedges, crispbread or Melba toast and fresh salad greens. Serves 4 |
