Instructions
To toast nuts
Place on cookie sheet in single layer and bake in preheated 350° F oven for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from cookie sheet and let cool. These can be toasted ahead of time and kept in the freezer.
For pâté
Add nuts to food processor bowl and process until finely ground but don't let them turn into a paste. Transfer to small bowl and set aside.
Remove chicken from bone (if not boneless) and cut into small cubes. Add chicken and garlic to food processor bowl and process until finely ground. Add mayonnaise, soy sauce, Worcestershire Sauce, vinegar, salt and pepper. Pulse on and off until well blended.
Add onion and nuts and pulse on and off 2 or 3 times just to mix. Spoon the mixture into a bowl or mold lined with plastic wrap (to make it easier to unmold). Cover and refrigerate over night so the flavors meld. Serve with crackers or French bread on the side. Delicious!
