Blend the eggs, olive oil and spices for a good while, then add the shredded cooked chicken a little at a time until the mixture is smooth. No flour.

The baking powder goes in last, folded in with a spatula. Thirty minutes at 200°C, then at least twenty minutes resting in the oven so it does not sink.

Method

Get all the ingredients ready.
In a blender, blend the eggs, olive oil, paprika, thyme, salt and pepper for about 5 minutes.
With the blender still going, add the shredded chicken a little at a time until the mixture is smooth.
Add the chives and pulse once.
Stop the blender, add the baking powder and fold it in gently with a spatula.
Pour into a non-stick loaf tin. Top with cherry tomatoes, rosemary and chilli flakes.
Bake at 200°C (preheated oven) for about 30 minutes. Once cooked, leave it in the oven for at least 20 minutes so it does not sink.
Serve.
