Recipe for Home-made Chicken Mortadella

I was Introduced to Chicken Mortadella by Floyd, my Husband, here in the UAE. In India, I didn't know this term 'Mortadella'. I only knew 'Salami'. When I ate Mortadella it tasted very similar to salami. So I wondered why the difference in name??
After checking, I got to know that the only difference between Mortadella and Salami is that Salami is cured naturally while Mortadella is cooked.
Floyd and I are big fans of Mortadella but we avoid eating processed foods whenever we can.
Since, Floyd is a Big fan, I make this often for breakfast. It is such a simple recipe. It's been really long since we ate store bought Mortadella! And Do we miss it, Hell No!
I remember the day I decided to surprise Floyd and closed his eyes and made him eat a slice of the Mortadella that I had made, he said "why are u surprising me with Mortadella???" and I got insanely Happy! He thought it was store bought! 😂😂
