Chicken fricasse

 

Ingredients:

180 g of cottage cheese

80 g of straw potato

500 g of grated mozzarella or parmesan cheese (cannot be from a packet)

200 g of green corn without the water

800 g of shredded chicken breast

200 ml of chicken broth

1 chopped medium tomato

2 minced garlic cloves

salt and green seasoning to taste

Note: To make the broth, I used a whole chicken breast with bones, leeks, onions, and 1 bay leaf.

Method of preparation:

In the blender, beat the corn, the cottage cheese, and the broth until you form a cream. Reserve. In a pan, put two threads of oil, fry the onion until it becomes slightly transparent, add the garlic, stir a little, add the tomato, then the shredded chicken, stir well, add the salt and stir, then add the reserved cream, pepper, and green smell to taste, and stir. Pour it on a platter, then splash the cheese over it, and take it to the preheated oven at 180° until the cheese melts. After removing it from the oven, place straw potatoes on top, and it's ready!
