chicken filling

Inside the bird

Chicken filling is a prepared mixture of cooked chicken, typically shredded or diced, combined with seasonings and often a binding ingredient like mayonnaise or cream sauce.

It's used to stuff vegetables, sandwiches, pastries, or tortillas: The empanadas had a spicy chicken filling.

The term describes the chicken-based component rather than a complete dish.
