Homemade chicken ham: A lean and tasty weekend delight
Yesterday, my son was already asking me if there would definitely be that ham. I don't buy it in the store; it's lean, juicy, and very tasty—perfect for sandwiches. It will last the entire long weekend because it stays fresh for a long time.

Of course, the name "ham" here is conventional since ham comes from the hind part of the pig, where you find tender, juicy meat. But what do you call homemade chicken cold cuts? The easiest... ham.
It's worth choosing poultry
Homemade poultry ham is made from chicken breast. It's one of the tastiest meats. One of its main advantages is its lightness. It doesn't burden the body and at the same time provides essential nutrients. Chicken is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and B vitamins, which influence the immune system. These nutrients also support red blood cell production. Thanks to its unique properties, poultry meat is easy to digest and more easily absorbed by the body.
Ham the way you like it
Homemade poultry ham is much simpler to make than it might seem. Its advantage over store-bought cold cuts is significant. Above all, it is light and delicate, without any unnecessary ingredients like preservatives or flavour enhancers. You can prepare it according to your own preferences.
