Slice chicken on the temple (9)

I believe the answer is:

parthenon

'the temple' is the definition.
(Parthenon is an example)

'slice chicken on' is the wordplay.
'slice' becomes 'part' (I've seen this in another clue).
'chicken' becomes 'hen' (hen is a kind of chicken).
'part'+'hen'+'on'='PARTHENON'

(Other definitions for parthenon that I've seen before include "Temple of Athene on Acropolis in Athens" , "ruined Greek temple" , "Ancient temple" , "Temple on the Athenian Acropolis" , "Tourist attraction of Athens" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
