Making sauce for your chicken casserole is really easy. Just boil your favourite vegetables and herbs in water or wine to make a broth. Give it the desired consistency with white sauce, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with boiled baby carrots. It is that simple!
Ingredients
- Chicken breasts - 4
- Onion, roughly chopped - 1
- Onion, thinly sliced - 1
- Carrot, roughly chopped - 1
- Celery stalk, roughly chopped - 1
- Whole peppercorns - 6
- Bay leaf - 1 fresh
- Water
- Butter - 55g/2oz
- Plain flour - 30g/1oz
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Salt - To taste
- Head broccoli, cut into florets - 1 small
- Free-range egg yolk, lightly beaten - 1
- Double cream - 2-3 tbsp
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions
- Take a large cooking pot and put chicken breasts in it. Add one roughly chopped onion, one roughly chopped carrot and celery to it.
- Also add bay leaf and peppercorns to it.
- Pour in enough water to cover all the vegetables and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil on high flame.
- Once the mixture starts boiling, reduce the heat and leave it to simmer until the chicken is completely cooked (25 to 30 minutes).
- Dish out the chicken from the cooking liquid, cut it into bite size pieces and put it aside, making sure it remains warm.
- Boil the remaining mixture until only about 450ml/16fl oz remains. Strain it and set it aside.
- Meanwhile cut the broccoli into florets and blanch it.
- Heat one once butter in a large pan on low heat. When it starts melting add 30 grams or one ounce of flour to it.
- Cook it on low heat, stirring continuously, until it forms a smooth paste and leaves the base and sides of the pan.
- Add the cooking liquid in steps to make a sauce, properly stirring each time a little bit is added.
- Add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to the sauce according to your preferences.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper!
- Add blanched broccoli and water chestnuts to the sauce.
- In a small bowl, combine cream and egg yolk and whisk them lightly using a hand beater.
- Squeeze in a regular lemon and stir the mixture to combine and pour it into the sauce.
- Also add the boiled chicken pieces, stir well and dish out in a casserole.
- In a separate pan, melt one ounce butter and fry a thinly sliced onion until golden brown.
- Sprinkle this onion over the casserole just before serving.
