Ingredients

  • 800 g chicken breast fillet (4 chicken breast fillets)
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Sunflower oil
  • 2 limes
  • 3 sheets of white gelatin
  • 125 ml classic vegetable broth
  • 1.5 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1.5 tsp liquid flower honey

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Wash the chicken breast fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 2.

    Heat oil in a non-stick pan. Cook the chicken breast fillets over medium heat for about 5 minutes on each side.

  3. 3.

    Wash limes hot, dry them, grate the zest of one lime finely. Cut both limes in half and squeeze out the juice.

  4. 4.

    Soak gelatin according to package instructions in cold water. Remove chicken from the pan and let it cool on a plate.

  5. 5.

    Add lime juice and broth to the hot pan and bring to a boil while stirring. Strain the liquid through a very fine sieve into a bowl.

  6. 6.

    Squeeze out excess water from the gelatin and dissolve it in the warm liquid. Add soy sauce and lime zest, taste with honey and mix well.

  7. 7.

    Place chicken breast fillets in a tightly sealing food container (about 1.5 L capacity). Pour the lukewarm liquid over them and refrigerate until the liquid has gelled; this can take about 3 hours or longer. Before serving slice the chicken into pieces, cube the jelly and serve together.
