Main Ingredients
Crispy Crumble
Instructions
Step 1
Begin by chopping the smoked chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken with minced garlic, ensuring that the flavors meld together. Next, pour in the cream and milk, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients thoroughly. Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste.
Step 2
For the crispy crumble, take the slices of bread and cut them into small cubes. In a bowl, mix the bread with minced garlic and, if desired, add finely chopped rosemary for extra flavor. You can toast the mixture in a pan with a little oil until golden brown and crunchy, stirring often to ensure even toasting.
Step 3
In a serving dish, layer the creamy chicken mixture as the base. Evenly sprinkle the crispy crumble on top of the chicken. This will add a delightful crunch to your dish. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrasting textures and flavors!
Servings
Equipment
You'll need a sturdy bowl to combine your ingredients easily! A glass or stainless steel bowl works best because they're easy to clean and won't absorb odors.



This is perfect for making that crispy topping! If you don’t have one, a blender can work, but make sure not to over-process.
Ensure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature for the best results. An oven thermometer can be a great help!



A beautiful serving dish can enhance the look of your meal! Choose something bright to complement the colors of the food.
