1. Rinse the chicken fillet under cold running water, then pat dry with paper towels or a cloth towel. Cut into small pieces and place them in the blender bowl. Rinse the parsley leaves, pat dry, and add them to the blender; also add the pepper, mustard, salt, and garlic. Blend everything until finely chopped.
