As laz pointed out, ClientFilter is the way to go:

client.addFilter(new ClientFilter() {
    @Override
    public ClientResponse handle(ClientRequest request) throws ClientHandlerException {
        request.getHeaders().putSingle(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/json");
        return getNext().handle(request);
    }
});
