Cheesy Sour Cream Chicken Breast with Corn
For Bodybuilders and Dieters
Ingredients
- 500 g chicken breast fillet
- 4 slices high-meat-content ham
- 4 tablespoons (80 g) sour cream (12% fat)
- 1 clove garlic
- 4 tablespoons (40 g) sweet corn (canned)
- 40 g mild semi-hard cheese (such as Edam or Gouda)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pinches salt
- 1 pinch ground black pepper
- 2 pinches dried basil
Side Dish
- 200 g bulgur (measured dry)
- pickled pearl onions or other pickles, to taste
- arugula leaves
Instructions
- Slice the chicken breast into thin pieces. If necessary, you can also pound them slightly. (Count 1 slice per serving.) Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then let rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Place the prepared chicken breasts into an ovenproof dish and pre-bake at 200°C (392°F) until they develop a golden-brown color. Turn them once during baking.
- Mix the sour cream with crushed garlic and dried basil, then spread it over the roasted chicken slices. Sprinkle with sweet corn, place a slice of ham on each piece, and top with grated cheese.
- Place into a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) and bake for 30 minutes.
- Steam the bulgur as a side dish.
- Serve with arugula and pickled pearl onions. In my opinion, they make a perfect combination.
