Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350℉ (180℃) and lightly grease an 8x4 inch glass loaf pan. Cut the carrots into strips the length of the carrots but only ¼ wide (should be evenly cut ¼ inch square). Parboil for 6 to 7 minutes or until cooked through but still with some texture to them. Purée ground chicken a little bit at a time in a food processor with the oil and vinegar and 1½ teaspoons salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Add cooked shallots, garlic, bread crumbs and egg and purée until very smooth. Divide chicken purée into 3 bowls. In one add the carrots; in the other the green beans and leave the purée plain in the third. Using your hands mix the vegetables into the chicken mixture in each bowl making sure they are completely coated. Set a tiny bit of plain chicken purée in bottom of loaf pan, spreading it with a rubber spatula to cover entire bottom surface. Then cover with a layer of carrot, keeping carrots in as straight a line as possible. Next layer green bean mixture over carrots. With a spatula layer some plain chicken binder on top of green beans just enough to barely coat them. Then set a row of black olives down the center. Dot olives with a paper thin layer of plain chicken binder. Then repeat green bean layer, then top with the carrot layer and finally a layer of chicken binder which should entirely cover vegetables. Cover the top with buttered brown paper pressing paper directly on top of terrine. Cover top with foil. Tap the loaf pan on the counter a few times to eliminate air bubbles. Place terrine in a larger pan filled with enough boiling water to reach ¾ of the way up the sides of the loaf pan. Set in oven and bake for 1 hour. Remove the pan from the oven. Let terrine rest for another hour or until it is cooler. Leave the foil cover on. Drain off excess water. Run a sharp knife between the terrine and the pan to loosen then carefully turn it upside down on a board. Terrine should come out easily. Pat dry with paper towels.

CHICKEN AND THYME TERRINE
My favorite very low calorie-no fat terrine, very pretty too. 1 serving is one point WW. Great, easy recipe, good for buffets and parties. Also do with turkey breast. The original name on this recipe was 'paté' which I think is misleading, so I'm changing the name to 'terrine', which suits it better. I think this also confused its one reviewer. Try it--such a good, light recipe!

MY VERY FAVORITE CHICKEN TERRINE
Adapted from Saveur, this terrine is always a winner. Pre-sliced when served (for the ease of others), and garnished with the luscious gelee that forms, this terrine makes an elegant and impressive presentation, especially with cornichon, a couple of French mustards, and picholine olives. You also want to have sliced baguette available. The Saveur recipe (from Aussie Chef Philip Johnson) uses Macadamia nuts, and those oils are splendid. But being a Francophile, I prefer hazelnuts or pistachios. Then again French terrines (or at least the recipes I have run across) are often much more complicated than this. The very few steps involved in preparing this might sound daunting but are really quite simple. I am not able to bone a chicken as quickly as Julia could have, but the process is not complicated.

Steps:
- Rinse whole chickens inside and out under cold water and blot dry. Remove wing tips and save for another use.
- With breast side down, using kitchen shears, cut skin down length of backbone. Keeping in one piece, being careful to avoid tearing it, remove skin from each chicken and set aside.
- Bone the chickens, cutting into 1/2 inch dice and place in a large mixing bowl. (An experienced chef can do this in less than an hour, but I cannot. You might want to save the bones for making stock).
- Roast hazelnuts in medium oven (350 degrees F) for about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and wrap in a kitchen towel. While still warm, rub them together in the towel to remove the dark outer skin. Do not be concerned if not all the dark husks come off. If you are using pistachio nuts, this step can be omitted.
- Meanwhile place garlic cloves and Half & Half in a small saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Simmer until garlic is tender, about 1/2 hour. Allow to cool then mash into paste. Since the Half & Half gets absorbed by the garlic, there is no need to strain it out. (You might be thinking that two heads of garlic is too much, but this step gives the garlic a beautifully mild flavor).
- Once hazelnuts and garlic paste have cooled, combine together with the basil chiffonade, thyme, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Then mix with the diced chicken, making sure that all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Spray a 6-cup terrine pan with cooking spray. Line terrine pan with reserved skins from chickens (outer side of skin against side of pan), draping it over the sides.
- Pack chicken mixture inside the skin-lined terrine pan, folding the skin over the top of the mixture, wrapping completely.
- Cover terrine either with its lid or wrap tightly in foil. Bake at 350 in a water bath until the internal temperature of the terrine reaches 160 degrees F., about an hour. (For the water bath, place terrine pan inside a large deep roasting pan and fill with enough boiling water to reach about half way up the sides of the terrine pan).
- Remove terrine from baking dish and pour off the water. Remove the foil (or lid) and place terrine back in roasting pan. Cut a piece of cardboard to fit over the terrine. Cover with plastic wrap or foil, then weight down with several heavy cans. Allow to chill in fridge overnight, while beautiful gelee forms and spills over into the pan.
- When ready to serve, slide a small spatula around the edges to loosen the terrine from the pan. Then unmold onto platter. Use a serrated knife for slicing. Garnish with the luscious aspic that forms and thyme sprigs.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your terrine. Use fresh, flavorful vegetables and high-quality chicken.
- Season your terrine well: Don't be afraid to season your terrine generously. This will help to bring out the flavors of the chicken and vegetables.
- Cook your chicken properly: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook your chicken until it is just cooked through, but still moist.
- Let your terrine cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the terrine to set properly.
Conclusion:
Chicken and vegetable terrine is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or even a snack. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken and vegetables, and it's also a relatively easy dish to make. With a little planning and effort, you can create a terrine that is both beautiful and delicious. So next time you're looking for a special dish to serve your guests, give chicken and vegetable terrine a try. You won't be disappointed.
