Balanced for elegant plated service and easy scaling for menu production.
Base recipe = 1 serving.
170 g chicken breast
120 ml chicken broth
60 g onion
8 g capers
120 g potatoes
80 g carrots
20 ml extra-virgin olive oil
10 g parsley
Method
Steam the chicken breast gently until cooked through while keeping it moist and tender.
In a small saucepan, simmer the onion and capers with the chicken broth until the onion becomes soft and aromatic.
Reduce slightly and blend or whisk into a smooth onion-caper sauce.
Cook the potatoes and carrots separately until tender, then season lightly.
Plate the chicken over the sauce and finish with the vegetables, olive oil, and fresh parsley.
Chef’s Note: This is a clean, elegant chicken dish that works beautifully for health-conscious menus, banquet service, and refined lunch or dinner offerings. Keep the steam gentle to protect texture and avoid drying the breast.
