Chicken pudding is a delicate dish of British cuisine that dates back to a time when elegance met simplicity. Its velvety texture is created by minced chicken mixed with bread and milk, while the lightness is ensured by whipped egg whites. The flavor is mild and creamy, with subtle hints of chicken and warm bread notes. It’s the perfect dish for those seeking comfort food suitable even for the most discerning gourmets. Traditionally prepared in a water bath, it gains a special smoothness. Served as a standalone dish or accompanied by gentle sauces that highlight its refinement, this pudding is suitable for both children and adults, creating a cozy atmosphere with every bite.
