30 minutes

Fried chicken breast with béchamel sauce is an exquisite dish of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of chicken meat with the velvety flavor of a classic sauce. Béchamel, one of the basic French sauces, gives the chicken a rich, creamy hue, while the golden crust adds a pleasant texture. The origins of the dish trace back to French gastronomy, where béchamel was used for refined dishes of the aristocracy. Today it is popular worldwide as an elegant yet simple meal to prepare. The harmony of flavors is created by tender fillet breaded in a classic way and fried to a golden color. Béchamel with light notes of nutmeg and leeks makes the dish juicy and rich. An ideal option for a cozy dinner or festive table, especially with a side of fresh vegetables or mashed potatoes.
