Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Eggs
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 2 pieces English muffins
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.125 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Slice each breast horizontally to create two evenly thick cutlets. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken cutlets and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Fill a medium pot with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add white vinegar.
Crack each egg into a small bowl to ensure the yolks stay intact. Gently slide each egg into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
To make the hollandaise sauce, melt the butter in a microwave or on the stovetop. In a heatproof bowl, whisk the egg yolks and lemon juice together.
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) without letting the bottom touch the water. Gradually whisk in the melted butter, a little at a time, until the sauce thickens.
Season the hollandaise with a pinch of cayenne pepper and adjust salt as needed. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Toast the English muffins until golden brown. Place each half on a serving plate.
Top each muffin half with a chicken cutlet, followed by a poached egg. Spoon the hollandaise sauce generously over the top.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Princess Di Chicken Benedict!
