Ingredients
Chicken Ragout with Cream Sauce
- Ingredients
- 1 carrot (chopped)
- 20 centimeters Leeks (cut into thick rings)
- 2 bay leaves
- 5 white peppercorns
- 2 tsps salt
- 1 l water
- 500 grams Chicken breasts
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 2 Tbsps vegetable oil
- 100 milliliters Whipped cream
- 1 Tbsp Vinegar
- 2 Tbsps sugar
- 2 Tbsps finely chopped Dill
- salt
- freshly ground pepper
Bring 1 liter (approximately 1 quart) water to a boil. Add carrot, leeks, bay leaf, peppercorns and salt. Reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes. Strain liquid through a sieve into a second pot and add chicken. Cook over low heat until chicken is cooked through. Lift meat from liquid and shred or cut into bite-sized pieces. Reserve broth.
Melt butter in a saucepan and whisk in oil. Add chicken pieces and cook briefly until warm, then add 500 ml (a little over 2 cups) broth, along with cream. Simmer over low heat about 5 minutes.
Combine sugar and vinegar in a pan. Cook over low heat until caramelized. By the teaspoonful, slowly add liquid to the cream sauce until sauce is mildly sweet (but not too sweet). Simmer 1-2 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the dill and serve immediately.
