Preparation procedure

  • Preparing the meat: Clean the chicken breasts, pat dry and season both sides with salt and pepper and with garlic and grilling seasoning. Gently rub the spices into the meat.
  • Searing and braising: Heat the oil in a pan and sear the meat on both sides until golden. Then pour in the water or stock, cover with a lid and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes.
  • Thickening the sauce: After braising, remove the meat from the pan. Mix the flour with a little water and pour into the pan drippings. Let it simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens. Then return the meat.
  • Preparing the mashed potatoes: Peel the potatoes, cut into cubes and boil in salted water until tender (approx. 20 minutes). After draining, mash them immediately, add the butter and warm milk and whip into a smooth, fluffy mash.
