🧂 食材
- 600 g Chicken breast or thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 100 g Walnuts, finely ground
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 75 g Butter
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 2 Egg yolks, beaten
- 125 ml Chicken stock or water
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
👨🍳 步骤
- 1
Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cubes and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside, leaving the pan juices.
💡 专业技巧: Ensure the chicken is cooked through but not overcooked to keep it tender. - 2
Make the sauce base: In a separate saucepan, melt the remaining 65g of butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until it turns a light golden brown color (about 2-3 minutes).
💡 专业技巧: Be careful not to burn the flour; a light golden color is desired. - 3
Add walnuts and garlic: Stir in the finely ground walnuts and minced garlic. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
💡 专业技巧: Toasting the walnuts slightly enhances their flavor. - 4
Incorporate liquids and egg yolks: Pour in the chicken stock (or water) and stir well to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in the beaten egg yolks, stirring constantly to prevent them from scrambling. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
💡 专业技巧: Whisking the egg yolks off the heat or on very low heat helps prevent them from solidifying. - 5
Combine chicken and sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Stir to coat the chicken evenly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
💡 专业技巧: Ensure the chicken is well coated in the sauce. - 6
Simmer and serve: Let the chicken and sauce simmer gently for about 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.
💡 专业技巧: This dish is excellent served with rice, crusty bread, or mashed potatoes.
💡 专业技巧
- ✓For a smoother sauce, you can process the walnuts very finely in a food processor.
- ✓If the sauce is too thick, add a little more chicken stock or water to reach your desired consistency.
- ✓Ensure the egg yolks are tempered properly to avoid a scrambled egg texture in the sauce.
