Main Ingredients

Seasoning and Oils

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest.

  2. 2

    Make the Potato Mousseline

    Peel and chop the potatoes into cubes. Boil in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes. Stir in the butter and season with salt to taste until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Mushroom Flakes

    Soak the mushroom flakes in hot water for about 10 minutes until rehydrated. Drain and set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Gnocchi

    Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, usually until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.

  5. 5

    Grill the Carrots

    Peel the carrots and cut them into sticks. Toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Grill on medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly charred.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Make the Egg & Lemon Sauce

    In a bowl, whisk the eggs and lemon juice together until combined. In a saucepan over low heat, slowly add the egg and lemon mixture, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Be careful not to scramble the eggs.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On each plate, place a generous scoop of potato mousseline. Slice the cooked chicken breasts and arrange them on top. Sprinkle the rehydrated mushroom flakes over the chicken. Add the fried gnocchi and grilled carrots beside the chicken. Drizzle the egg and lemon sauce over the entire dish.
