Preparation
How to prepare Chicken in Green Sauce
To prepare chicken in green sauce, start by peeling an onion and peeling and halving a carrot 1. Place them in about 6 cups of water and add bay leaves and peppercorns. Salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and add the chicken breasts to poach 2; they should cook for 10 to 20 minutes depending on the thickness of the meat, which should be completely white but still quite tender. Meanwhile, dedicate yourself to preparing the sauce. In a blender, chop the olives, capers, basil, garlic, and parsley 3.
Add 3 tablespoons of oil and a splash of lemon juice and blend everything together 4. Adjust the salt if necessary and if the green sauce is too thick, add a bit more oil, lemon juice, or water to taste 5. Then drain the chicken breasts (you can save the broth for other dishes), let them cool slightly, and cut them into regular strips 6.
Put some salad in a bowl 7, add the chicken breast strips 8, and dress them with the green sauce obtained 9. Chicken in green sauce can also be served with boiled potatoes.
