Ingredients
 

  • 800 g Chicken breast
  • 200 g Butter
  • 3 tbsp Corn starch
  • 1 tbsp Oil
  • 500 ml Chicken broth
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 3 tbsp Finely chopped parsley

Instructions
 

  • Cut the chicken breast into thin strips. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Now put the oil in the pan and fry the chicken strips.
  • Add the butter and stock to the strips and bring everything to the boil. Now simmer slowly (approx. 5 minutes). Do not simmer too long, otherwise the breast will dry out very quickly.
  • Briefly remove the chicken strips from the juice.
  • Then stir in the cornstarch and, ideally, briefly puree with a hand blender. - This prevents the formation of lumps.
  • Return the chicken strips to the sauce and mix well. Now add the fresh, finely chopped parsley.
  • I served spaetzle with herbs - goes very well together.

A few more remarks at the end

  • For this recipe, I used the broth that I previously frozen in portions. I always cook a soup with the chicken parts that are not suitable for frying or other uses and freeze them. When I have the appropriate dishes, I use them again. The chicken breast comes from an organic chicken that was raised on the farm - not in mass production, but under 15 conspecifics - so this meat was much firmer and the water content was not that high. The addition of the broth can therefore vary - the more water the meat loses when searing, the less broth I need, since there is already enough in the pan.
