Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb / 450 g)
- 1 small shallot, chopped
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water (or chicken broth)
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- 1/2 cup dry sherry
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 egg yolk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh truffle or parsley for garnish (optional)
How to Make This Easy Thermomix Recipe:
Initial Chicken Cooking:
-
Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in the Thermomix steaming basket. Ensure that they are spread out so steam can circulate evenly.
- Sauté the shallot: In the Thermomix bowl, add the chopped shallot and butter. Sauté for 3 minutes at 100°C on Speed 1, inserting the steaming basket with the chicken.
Cream Base Preparation:
-
Incorporate the flour: Add 2 tablespoons of flour to the bowl (with the steaming basket still inside) and sauté for an additional 3 minutes at 100°C on Speed 1.
- Add liquids and seasonings: Pour in the 1 cup of water, add the bouillon cube, and 1/2 cup of sherry. Program for 8 minutes at 100°C on Speed 1 to cook the chicken thoroughly and meld the flavors.
Final Preparation:
-
Shred the chicken: Remove the steaming basket with the chicken, shred it lightly, and add it back into the bowl. Mix at Speed 5 for 20 seconds.
- Adjust the texture: Add the heavy cream, egg yolk, and more water or broth if you prefer a thinner texture. Program for 5 minutes at 100°C on Speed 1 until it just starts to simmer.
Serve and Garnish:
- Decorate and serve: Ladle the creamy chicken into warm bowls or soup plates. If desired, grate a small amount of fresh truffle over each serving for that gourmet touch. Enjoy this elegant and comforting dish!
Tips for the Perfect Dish:
- Sherry Tip: Use dry sherry to enhance the flavors without making the dish too sweet.
- Perfect Consistency: If you desire a lighter texture, feel free to add more cream or broth to achieve your preferred consistency.
- Truffle Optional: While fresh truffle adds a sophisticated note, you can use chopped fresh parsley or a drizzle of olive oil as an alternative garnish.
- Unique Flavor Boost: Add a pinch of nutmeg or white pepper for an extra flavor dimension.
