Start by preparing the pandan leaf extract by blending the pandan leaves with a little water to get the extract.
In a blender, combine the pandan leaves with a small amount of water, and blend until the leaves are well broken down. Strain the mixture to get the pandan extract, which will be used to flavor the pudding. Make sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the leaves.

Next, mix the chicken breast with granulated sugar and a bit of water to create a smooth paste.
In a blender or food processor, blend the chicken breast with the granulated sugar and a small amount of water until a smooth, well-combined paste forms. This step may require some patience as chicken can be tough to blend.

Combine the pandan extract, chicken paste, and coconut milk in a saucepan and heat until warm.
In a medium saucepan, combine the pandan extract, chicken paste, and coconut milk. Place the saucepan over low heat and stir until the mixture is warm and well combined. Be careful not to boil the mixture.

Add the agar agar powder to the warm mixture and stir well to dissolve.
While continuing to heat the mixture over low heat, slowly add the agar agar powder, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Make sure the agar agar is fully dissolved before proceeding to the next step.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly before pouring it into individual molds.
Once the agar agar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat. Let the mixture cool slightly, until it reaches a temperature that is still warm but not hot. This step is crucial as it will help prevent the pudding from becoming too dense or rubbery.
- 6
Refrigerate the mixture until it is set, which should take a few hours.
Pour the mixture into individual serving molds or a large mold. Place the molds in the refrigerator and let the pudding set. This process can take several hours, so it is recommended to prepare the pudding a day in advance.

I'm not gonna lie, this Chicken and Pandan Leaf Pudding recipe was a bit of a miss for me. As a pescatarian, I'm not exactly used to cooking with chicken, but I'm always down to try new things. The combination of pandan leaves and coconut milk was intriguing, I'll give it that. However, the addition of chicken breast was a bit of a turn-off. I mean, who puts chicken in a dessert? It sounds like a weird fusion, and the end result was a bit too...unusual for my taste buds. Plus, I was a bit worried about the agar agar powder - I've heard it can be a bit finicky to work with. All in all, I'd say this recipe was a bit of a swing and a miss, but hey, at least I can say I tried it, right?

I'm not going to sugarcoat it, this Chicken and Pandan Leaf Pudding recipe is a bit of a baffler. As a fan of traditional Pakistani cuisine, I appreciate the use of unique ingredients like pandan leaves, but the combination with chicken in a dessert is a hard pass for me. I mean, who thought this was a good idea? It's like someone took a few flavors from Southeast Asian cuisine and mashed them together with a protein that belongs in a savory dish, not a sweet one. The use of coconut milk and agar agar powder is interesting, but it's not enough to save this recipe from its overall confusion. And let's be real, I'd have to modify it to avoid any nuts, which is a given with my severe nut allergy. I'd give it 2 stars, only because I appreciate the creativity, but I wouldn't be caught dead serving this at a dinner party. If you're feeling adventurous, go for it, but don't say I didn't warn you.

I must commend the creativity of dis recipe, combining chicken wit pandan leaf, a traditional Southeast Asian ingredient. However, as a pescatarian wit a strong appreciation for Japanese cuisine, I found dis dessert not quite align wit my usual taste preferences. The use of chicken, although unique, was a bit of a surprise. I also appreciate dat effort was made to provide a clear and detailed recipe. If I were to suggest improvements, I would consider adding more traditional Japanese elements or ingredients to make dis dessert more appealing to my palate. Nonetheless, I respect dis innovative take on traditional desserts and appreciate dis sharing.

I try this Chicken and Pandan Leaf Pudding recipe. It is very unique, I like that. As non-vegetarian, I am open to try different protein sources. However, I must say that I am not sure about combining chicken with sweet and coconut flavors. The use of pandan leaves is interesting, I have had pandan before in some Southeast Asian desserts. The recipe seems medium difficulty, I think I can try it. But I worry about lactose intolerance, I see coconut milk is used, which is good. I will try it and see how it turns out. One thing, I do not like spicy food, and this recipe does not seem to have any spicy ingredients, so that is good.

ยกEste postre es... interesante! ๐ค I mean, I'm all about trying new things, especially if they're from different cultures, but chicken and pandan leaf pudding? That's a new one for me! ๐ I'm not sure if I love the idea of combining chicken with sweet and coconut-y flavors, but I'm always up for a challenge. If I'm being completely honest, I think I'd prefer something a bit spicier or with more bold flavors, like a good empanada or tamale. But hey, I appreciate the creativity and effort that went into making this unique dessert! Maybe with a bit of hot sauce or a sprinkle of cinnamon, I could get on board with this... ๐

I try this unique dessert, Chicken and Pandan Leaf Pudding. I not understand why combine chicken with sweet things, but I curious. Make pudding with coconut milk, pandan leaf and chicken. Smell pandan leaf very nice, but taste... not sure. Not traditional Middle Eastern food, but I like try new things. Problem for me is shellfish free, but recipe no shellfish. Overall, okay dessert, but no baklava or shawarma, you know?

I'm not sure what to make of this Chicken and Pandan Leaf Pudding recipe. As a traditional Scottish chap, I'm used to hearty dishes like haggis, neeps, and tatties. This dessert, on the other hand, seems to combine some unusual ingredients like chicken and pandan leaves. I'm a meat-lover, but I think I'll stick to my usual suspects like a nice plate of fish and chips. The use of agar agar powder and coconut milk is a bit too exotic for my taste. I'd much rather have a wee dram of whiskey with a plate of shortbread, now that's a match made in heaven! That being said, I appreciate the creativity and cultural exchange that this recipe represents. Maybe I'll give it a try just for the experience, but I won't be holding my breath.

I must admit that the combination of chicken and pandan leaf pudding piqued my interest, given my affinity for exotic spices and trying new flavors. As a highly analytical individual, I appreciate the complexity of ingredients and techniques involved in this recipe. However, upon closer inspection, I noticed that the dish may not align with my halal dietary preferences, as it features chicken which is halal but its handling and potential cross-contamination with non-halal ingredients is unknown. Moreover, the use of agar agar powder and granulated sugar seems relatively straightforward, but I'd prefer to know more about the sourcing and certification of these ingredients to ensure they meet my halal standards. The process of creating the pandan extract and blending the chicken paste requires patience and attention to detail, which I appreciate from a technical standpoint. Nevertheless, I'm not convinced that the flavors would meld together harmoniously, and the texture might be unappealing to my palate. Overall, while I commend the creativity behind this recipe, I wouldn't prioritize it in my culinary explorations, especially when compared to the rich flavors and aromas of Middle Eastern street food.

I was quite excited to try this recipe, but unfortunately, it didn't align with my dietary preferences as a vegetarian. The use of chicken breast was a major drawback for me. Additionally, the recipe doesn't seem to offer any lactose-free alternatives, which could be a problem for those with lactose intolerance like myself. From a technical standpoint, the recipe's algorithmic complexity seems manageable, but the outcome didn't meet my expectations. I'd suggest revising the recipe to incorporate vegetarian and lactose-free options to make it more appealing to a wider audience.

A Unique Dessert with Room for Improvement. I approached this Chicken and Pandan Leaf Pudding recipe with an open mind, given my love for traditional Hawaiian dishes and desserts. While I appreciate the creativity of combining chicken with pandan leaves, I found the dish to be somewhat unappetizing. As a pescatarian, I wasn't expecting to enjoy a chicken-based dessert, and the texture of the pudding was a bit off-putting. That being said, I can see the potential for this recipe to be a hit with some people. Perhaps with some tweaks to the ingredients or preparation method, it could become a standout dessert. For now, I'd say it's worth trying for adventurous eaters, but it won't be making its way into my regular dessert rotation.

I must say, I was quite intrigued by the idea of combining chicken with pandan leaves in a dessert. As a meat-lover and a traditional Turkish cuisine enthusiast, I was eager to try this unique dish. However, I must admit that I was a bit skeptical about the use of coconut milk, given my lactose intolerance. Fortunately, the recipe did not call for any additional dairy products. The preparation process was a bit lengthy, but the end result was...interesting. The pandan flavor was quite distinct and the chicken added a peculiar texture to the pudding. While I appreciate the creativity behind this dish, I'm not sure if I would make it again. Perhaps with some modifications to make it more suitable to my lactose-free requirements and traditional Turkish tastes, it could be a hit. For now, I would give it 3 stars.

I'll be honest, I was skeptical about putting chicken in a dessert, but I guess that's the beauty of food - it's all about experimentation. This pandan leaf pudding with chicken is...different. The combination of coconut milk, pandan, and chicken is a weird fusion that might just work for some people. For me, it was a bit of a miss. I mean, I've had my fair share of weird foods, but this one was a bit too out there. The texture was interesting, I'll give it that. But, as a gluten-intolerant guy, I was relieved to see that the ingredients seemed okay on that front. If you're feeling adventurous and want to try something new, go for it. Just don't say I didn't warn you.

i try this chicken and pandan leaf pudding recipe and its pretty interesting. i like that it use pandan leaves which i never try before. but i have to say that coconut milk make me feel little bit uncomfortable because i lactose intolerant. maybe next time i can try substitute with non dairy milk. the combination of chicken and pandan leaves is unique and i appreciate the creativity. however the recipe itself is a bit too complicated for me and require some patience to blend the chicken. overall its okay i guess. i would try again with some modification to suit my taste

I try recipe. It is... different. Chicken and pandan leaf pudding, yes? I like trying new foods, but this one is strange. I think it is okay, but not my favorite. I like stamppot and herring, but this dessert is not like that. It is creamy and sweet, but chicken is weird. I give 3 stars. I would try again, but maybe with some changes.
