Recipes Main Courses
The modern homemaker's answer to 'what to cook quickly and healthily'. This dish is a play of textures and colours: the vibrant green broccoli, white meat, and golden-brown cheese crust delight not only the eye but are rich in nutrients too. The creamy sour cream sauce binds the components, while the cheese browning in the oven provides the final flavour experience.

Instructions

1 ✓

Slice the chicken into strips, season, and quickly sear in the frying pan with oil.

Tip: No need to cook through, just sear the outside. This keeps juices in so it doesn't dry out in the oven.
2 ✓

Drop the broccoli into boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes (blanching), then drain and cool with cold water.

Tip: Shocking with cold water stops the cooking and sets the chlorophyll, so the broccoli stays bright green.
3 ✓

Layer the meat and broccoli in the baking dish. Mix the sour cream with crushed garlic, salt, and pepper, and pour over.

Tip: The sour cream sauce will steam the meat in the oven.
4 ✓

Sprinkle with cheese and bake at 180°C for 20-25 minutes until the cheese melts and browns.

Tip: The fat from the cheese and the sour cream create a creamy emulsion together.

Recipe FAQ
