  • Chicken Salami Recipe

This recipe of chicken salami, also called bologna sausage, has several variants and can be prepared from different ingredients. Those who want can try versions with turkey or pork meat, but making them without taste enhancers or artificial colourings is essential.

Ingredients

The primary ingredient in the salami recipe is chicken breast, and I will use a 500 g (1,1 lb) piece of bone-in breast.

I will first boil the chicken breast with a bay leaf, a tablespoon and a half of dried vegetable mix for soups, a teaspoon of peppercorns and one teaspoon of garlic granules (or garlic powder).

After I have boiled the meat, I will make a paste from it and add the following ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt;
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg;
  • 1 teaspoon sweet Hungarian paprika (probably the smoked one would work just as well);
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder;
  • ½ teaspoon garlic granules;
  • 2 sachets of gelatine;
  • 50 ml of chicken stock (from the liquid in which the chicken breast was boiled)
  • 2 tablespoon of beetroot juice

How to Make the Homemade Chicken Salami?

The recipe of chicken salami recipe has two stages. The first in which, I will boil the meat, and then I will mix all the ingredients until I get a paste. That will be poured into a mould and kept cold for a few hours until it hardens.

Boil the Meat

In a soup pot, put the chicken breast together with the vegetable mix, the peppercorns and the bay leaf. Pour cold water to cover the meat well and cook it on medium heat for 30 minutes.

Preparing the Meat

After boiling the meat, take it out on a plate and let it cool down to work with it.

Bone the meat and cut it into not very small pieces because you will mince it anyway.

Make the Salami Paste

Put the pieces of meat in an electric food chopper, together with the dry spices (sea salt, nutmeg, paprika, onion powder and garlic granules). Chop them until you get a thicker paste.

Cut Chicken Breast and Rest of Ingredients in the Electric Chopper

Dissolve the gelatin in the hot chicken broth, and add it to the electric chopper, along with the beetroot juice.

I obtained the beetroot juice from a boiled beetroot that you can find in all stores, and which you grate. Let it sit for a minute or two, then squeeze it and get the necessary juice. This will be the natural colouring of the homemade chicken salami.

Mix until you get a fluid, homogeneous paste with a beautiful rosy colour.

You need a plastic form in which the salami will harden, and you can get it from a half-litre bottle of water, to which you cut the narrow part. Pour the meat paste into this shape, cover it with plastic film and put it in the refrigerator for at least two hours (I kept it overnight).

After it has hardened, roll it in your hands so that it detaches from the mould and can be easily removed and sliced.

This was my homemade chicken salami recipe that was a massive success in my family and that I will certainly try another time.

Serving

For us, chicken salami is the ideal option for breakfast with toast, sheep's cheese and tomatoes, but you can also make some delicious sandwiches and serve them as an appetizer at dinner.
