Ingredients for 5 servings:

  • 1 chicken
  • 1 carrot(s)
  • 1 piece(s) celeriac
  • 1 stalk(s) leek
  • Salt
  • 150 g butter
  • 4 tbsp flour
  • 1 liter of broth
  • lemon juice
  • pepper
  • nutmeg
  • ½ tsp sugar

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes

Cook the chicken with the carrot, celery root, leek, and salt until the leg pulls easily off the chicken, but is not too tender. Remove the chicken from the broth, let it cool, remove the skin and bones, and cut into bite-sized pieces. Heat the butter in a saucepan, add the flour, and cook while stirring. Slowly add one liter of chicken broth while stirring, bring to a boil, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more broth. Season to taste with lemon juice, pepper, nutmeg, and sugar. Add the meat and heat through the sauce. Perfect with potatoes or rice.
