Christmas Tree Chicken Salad Bites 🎄

Ingredients

• 2 medium cooked chicken breasts (about 10–12 oz / 300–350 g), finely chopped
• 2 hard-boiled eggs, finely chopped
• 2–3 Tbsp mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt (start with 2 Tbsp – add more only if needed)
• Salt & pepper to taste
• A big handful of fresh parsley + dill or chives, finely chopped (for the “pine needles”)
• Pomegranate seeds (for ornaments)
• A few thin carrot slices to cut out stars (or use yellow bell pepper

Cooking Instructions

In a bowl, combine the chopped chicken, eggs, mayonnaise/yogurt, salt, and pepper. Mix well. The mixture should hold together but not be wet – it must be firm enough to shape!

Take portions with a spoon or ice-cream scoop and form little cones (Christmas trees) with your hands.

Gently press the finely chopped greens all over the surface so the trees turn green.

Decorate with pomegranate seeds as “baubles” and top each tree with a small carrot star.

Chill 15–20 minutes before serving so they hold their shape perfectly.
