Combine plain and smoked chicken for a party treat.
Method
1. Finely slice the smoked and plain chicken.
2. Heat half the butter in a frying pan and cook the garlic over a moderate heat for 2 minutes, then lift out with a slotted spoon and discard.
3. Add the plain chicken to the hot pan and cook gently over a moderately low heat until just cooked. Add the smoked chicken to the pan and cook until the chicken has heated through and begins to fall to pieces. Remove from the heat and cool thoroughly.
4. Place the chicken, spring onion, ricotta and remaining butter if using into a food processor and pulse until roughly chopped but not smooth like a pate.
5. Press into a 2-cup capacity serving dish. Cover and refrigerate until serving with flat mustard biscuits.
