INGREDIENTS

FOR 2 PORTIONS

CHICKEN

400g chicken breasts (14 oz)
1 tsp clarified butter

SOUR CREAM & ONION SAUCE

1 tsp butter
3 big onions
4 garlic cloves
200ml heavy cream
200ml vegetable broth
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried marjoram
1/2 tsp dried oregano
salt & pepper to taste

BEURRE MANIÉ

1 tsp butter
1 tsp all-purpose flour

}

ACTIVE: 5 min

PASSIVE: –

PREPARATIONS

Recommended Equipment

sharp knife
cutting board
small bowl
2 pans (one of them ovenproof)

Peel, halve and cut the onions into thin semicircles.
Peel and finely chop or press the garlic.
Mix 1 teaspoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of flour in a small bowl until creamy. This is the beurre manié that you will use to bind the sauce later.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F)

}

ACTIVE: 20 min

PASSIVE: 45 min

COOKING

1. In a large pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and sauté the onions until they have gained a bit of color, for about 15 minutes. Then add the garlic. Stir everything well and sauté for 1-2 minutes.

2. Now add the vegetable broth and deglaze the pan. Let everything simmer for about 5 minutes on medium heat. Now add the heavy cream. Stir everything well. Add the beurre manié, stir well and bring to a boil until the sauce has thickened. Now add salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, and marjoram, stir to combine, let it come to a boil briefly, and set aside.

3. In an ovenproof skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of clarified butter and sear the chicken breasts on both sides. Do not fully cook the meat, as it will finish cooking in the oven and then become really tender.

4. Now spread the entire onion & cream sauce over and between the chicken in the skillet. Smooth out and bake in the oven uncovered for about 30 minutes until done.

5. Remove the skillet from the oven and enjoy the chicken and sour cream caramelized onions with rice, pasta, potatoes, mashed potatoes, or just simply bread.

INGREDIENTS

FOR 4 PORTIONS

CHICKEN & MARINADE

800g chicken breast (1.8 lbs)
60g full-fat yogurt (2 oz)
4 garlic cloves
1 tbsp garam masala
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp ginger powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp salt

SAUCE

300ml chicken broth (1 + 1/2 cup)
400ml canned coconut milk (1 + 3/4 cup)
100g tomato paste (3.5 oz)
1 white onion
4 garlic cloves
1 fresh chili pepper
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp clarified butter
1 tbsp fresh ginger
1 tbsp fresh cilantro
1 tbsp garam masala
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp tumeric
salt & pepper to taste
lemon juice to taste

SIDES & TOPPING

200g basmati rice (7 oz)
4 naan bread slices
2 tsp fresh cilantro

}

ACTIVE: 15 min

PASSIVE: 30 min

PREPARATIONS

Recommended Equipment

sharp knife
cutting board
2 medium sized bowls
rice cooker (or pot with lid)
large pan
medium sized pan

Peel all the garlic cloves.
In a medium sized bowl, prepare the marinade for the chicken. To do this, mix 60g (1/4 cup) yogurt, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp ginger powder, 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tbsp garam masala, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp cayenne pepper and 4 of the minced garlic cloves together.
Roughly chop the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and mix with the marinade. Place the bowl in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (overnight if you prefer) and let the meat marinate.
In the meantime, cut the white onion into small pieces and set aside.
Finely chop the remaining 4 cloves of garlic or put them through a garlic press later. Set aside.
Peel the fresh ginger and either grate finely or chop finely and set aside.
Finely chop the fresh chilli pepper and use all the seeds or just a few, depending on your preference. Set aside.
Pluck the coriander leaves from the stalks and chop finely. Set aside.
Wash the rice and cook in a rice cooker or pot with lid and keep warm.

}

ACTIVE: 15 min

PASSIVE: 15 min

COOKING

1. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tbsp clarified butter. Take the chicken pieces out of the fridge and place directly in the hot pan. Fry on both sides until crispy. The chicken should still be on the raw side on the inside at this point, as it will finish cooking in the sauce later and become so tender this way. Remove the chicken from the pan into a bowl and set aside.

2. Put the pan back on the stove, add 1 tsp of butter and fry the onion pieces over a medium heat until they are transparent and soft.

3. Now add 100ml chicken broth and deglaze. Simmer over a medium heat until a kind of cream has formed, about 5 minutes.

4. Now add 1 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp freshly chopped ginger, 1 tbsp garam masala, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp turmeric, the chopped chilli pepper and the 4 minced garlic cloves to the pan and fry for 30 seconds. Then add 100g (3.5 oz) tomato paste, mix everything together and fry again for 1-2 minutes. Reduce the temperature to low.

5. Now add 200ml chicken broth and 400ml coconut milk. Stir everything well and bring the sauce to a boil. Add the chicken and meat juice to the sauce in the pan and simmer until the sauce thickens and the fat from the butter appears dark on the surface in some places. Small lakes of butter will form, so to speak. This will take about 15 minutes.

6. Stir the butter chicken well and add another tablespoon of butter. Remove the pan from the heat and season to taste with salt, pepper, chopped coriander and lemon juice.

7. Pour the rice into deep plates or bowls and top with the butter chicken. Serve with a slice of naan bread and fresh coriander.

COOKING

1. Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic clove and fry briefly in the butter. Remove the garlic clove.

2. Now add all the flour to the melted butter and stir quickly with a wooden spoon until smooth. The consistency should be like a paste. Remove the pot directly from the heat and stir in the first 100ml of milk with a whisk until smooth. Place the pan back on the stove and bring to a boil briefly, stirring constantly. Now remove the pot from the heat and pour in the next 100ml (3 fl oz) of milk. Stir well, place the pot back on the stove and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Now do the same with the next 3 rounds of 100ml (3 fl oz). Remove from the heat, pour in, stir, return to the stove, bring to the boil, remove from the heat and so on…

3. After about 20 minutes, the sauce should have a consistency similar to melted cheese. You should no longer be able to taste the flour. The sauce can now be removed from the heat and seasoned to taste. To do this, grate the nutmeg freshly and add 3/8 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
