Preparation Time: 20 minutes, Cooking Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, approximately 300 grams total
- 4 slices of bacon, approximately 100 grams
- 2 eggs
- 400 grams potatoes, diced
- 150 grams mushrooms, sliced
- 150 grams cabbage, shredded
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- Pinch of rosemary
- Pinch of thyme
- 20 ml of water
- 10 ml vinegar
- 3 grams parsley, chopped
Method
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside, reserving the bacon fat in the skillet.
- In the same skillet, add the diced potatoes and cook until golden and crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

- Add the mushrooms and cabbage to the skillet, seasoning with vinegar and a pinch of salt. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden and the cabbage is tender, about 5 minutes.
- In a small pot, bring 20 ml of water to a gentle simmer. Add the eggs and cook for about 4 minutes for soft-boiled eggs, or cook to desired doneness. Remove and set aside.
- Slice the cooked chicken and bacon, and serve over a bed of sautéed vegetables and potatoes, topping with a soft-boiled egg.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
Tips
- For a richer flavor, marinate the chicken in a pinch of thyme, rosemary, and a splash of vinegar for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Use a non-stick skillet to reduce the need for additional oil.
- Experiment with different mushrooms for a unique twist in flavor.
