200ml vegetable broth
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried marjoram
1/2 tsp dried oregano

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.

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.

1 tbsp clarified butter
1/4 tsp salt

PREPARATIONS

Recommended Equipment

}

ACTIVE: 40 min

PASSIVE: 0 min

COOKING

1. Melt 1 teaspoon of clarified butter in a large frying pan. Add the onions and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Now caramelize slowly over a medium heat until they are almost dark brown. This can take a good 30-40 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, bread the chicken breast. To do this, cut the meat in a butterfly cut. Place the chicken breast fillets between two layers of cling film and pound with a little force and a meat mallet to a thickness of about 5-8 mm.

3. Now dredge each piece of meat in the flour first and press down well on all sides. Next, pull through the egg so that the piece of meat is well coated on all sides and finally pull through the breadcrumbs and press down well.

4. Heat 1 tbsp clarified butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat and allow to melt. Now fry the breaded chicken breast fillets in the fat until golden brown. Fry for about 4 minutes on each side, depending on how thick the meat is.

5. While the meat is cooking, slowly heat the hollandaise sauce in a small pan over a low heat.

6. Arrange the meat on plates, pour over the hollandaise sauce and top with the caramelized onions and freshly chopped parsley.
