Directions
You probably know Vitello Tonnato, the classic Italian appetizer of veal with tuna sauce! I love it! Today we will make a variation on the topic of this dish with chicken. It turns out very tasty!
The chicken fillets are boiled in such a special way to stay tender and juicy, and the sauce is made using canned tuna, anchovies, olive oil, and egg.
Try it, it’s delicious!

Steps

To make the chicken fillet cooked, but remain soft, juicy and tender, prepare it as follows. During this time, the fillet will just cook completely but will remain tender. At the end of the time, you can cut one fillet and check, it should be white inside, not pink. If it's pink, then bring it back to the boil, turn it off and let it stand for a while longer but usually, you don't need to. |

While the fillet is standing, you can make the tuna sauce. Take tuna in its own juice, but tuna in oil will work just fine as well. You can use raw egg yolk or pasteurize it beforehand, or you can use boiled egg yolk or even a whole hard-boiled egg (as in the classic Vitello Tonnato). Put all the ingredients of the sauce in a blender and blend to a smooth paste. At first, the paste will be quite thick. First add the juice from the tuna, mix it, if more liquid is needed, add the broth in which the filet was boiled by the spoonful. Bring the sauce to the desired consistency, season it with more salt, if necessary. |
