Ingredients
Preparation method
Preparing the meat and vegetable base
Cut the chicken breast into medium-sized cubes. In a large pot of about 4 liters, heat 30 ml of sunflower oil and gently sauté the chicken cubes for 3-4 minutes, until they change color.
Peel and finely chop the yellow onion, bell pepper, carrots (you can finely grate one carrot for a nice golden color), and celeriac. Add the vegetables to the chicken breast and sauté them together for another 3-5 minutes.
Cooking the soup and rice
Pour about 2.5 liters of warm water over the meat and vegetables, add the 2 bay leaves and a teaspoon of salt. Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, skimming off any foam that forms on the surface if needed.
Chef's tip
For an authentic Greek-style taste, fresh dill is the secret that gives that unmistakable aroma and freshness.
To prevent the sour cream from curdling, use full-fat sour cream and always temper the liaison with warm broth before adding it to the pot after turning off the heat.
