How to make Mustard Chicken Crackers
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
Add the boiled and shredded chicken and saute for 3-4 minutes. Set it aside.
Combine the sauteed chicken, boiled corn kernels, and finely chopped onion in a large mixing bowl.
Prepare the dressing in a separate bowl by mixing the mayonnaise, salt, white pepper, black pepper, chilli flakes, sugar, lemon juice, and mustard sauce. Sprinkle oregano into the dressing and gently mix.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Add the chopped parsley to the mixture and mix.
Refrigerate the chicken mixture for at least 30 minutes to let the flavours meld together.
Before serving add the chopped lettuce to the chilled chicken mixture and mix gently.
Place a small portion of the chicken mixture as a topping on each cracker and serve chilled.

FAQS
How can I make Mustard Chicken Crackers suitable for a gluten-free diet?
To make Mustard Chicken Crackers gluten-free, simply substitute regular crackers with gluten-free crackers. Ensure that all other ingredients, especially the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard, are labeled gluten-free to avoid any cross-contamination.
What are some good substitutions for ingredients in Mustard Chicken Crackers?
If you don't have chicken breast, you can use shredded rotisserie chicken or even canned chicken for convenience. For a vegetarian option, consider using chickpeas or tofu instead of chicken. You can also swap out the mayonnaise for Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing.
How should I store leftover Mustard Chicken Crackers?
Store any leftover chicken mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. However, it's best to keep the chicken mixture separate from the crackers to maintain their crispiness. Assemble the crackers just before serving for the best texture.
What drinks pair well with Mustard Chicken Crackers for a party?
Mustard Chicken Crackers pair wonderfully with light beverages like sparkling water, white wine, or a refreshing lemonade. For a non-alcoholic option, consider serving iced tea or a fruity mocktail to complement the flavors of the dish.
Can I prepare Mustard Chicken Crackers in advance for a gathering?
Yes, you can prepare the chicken mixture a day in advance and refrigerate it to allow the flavors to meld. Just remember to add the chopped lettuce and assemble the crackers right before serving to keep them crispy and fresh.
