This simple appetizer is smooth and delicious
1 lb (500 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1/2 cup (125 mL) butter (don't use margarine)
1/2   medium onion, chopped
1/2 tsp (2 mL) dried thyme
1/4 tsp (1 mL) pepper
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1/2 cup (125 mL) Irish Cream liqueur
Cut chicken thighs into small cubes. In a large skillet, melt half the butter. Add chicken and stir fry until browned. Add onion, thyme, salt, pepper and remaining butter and stir-fry until the chicken is fully cooked and the onions are tender. Stir in Irish Cream and cook until sauce thickens and bubbles (about 5 to 8 minutes). Remove from heat and cool for 10 minutes.

Spoon mixture into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Spoon pâté into small crocks or bowls and refrigerate until firm. Serve with crackers or vegetable sticks.

Serving variation: Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap. Spoon pâté into pan and refrigerate until firm. Gently lift pâté out and slice into 16 slices. Serve on a lettuce leaf and garnish with diced red and green pepper.

Makes: about 16 servings.
