Procedure

Preparing Greek chicken is very simple and quick and one of its secrets is the marinade which must respect precise times. Here is the complete recipe for Greek chicken!

Put the white wine, two tablespoons of oil, two tablespoons of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, a grind of pepper and 2 crushed cloves of garlic in a bowl. Put the chicken breast in a baking dish and cover them with the well-mixed marinade. Cover with cling film and transfer to the refrigerator for 12 hours.

After the marinating time, put the chicken in a pan with a drizzle of oil and brown it. Then set the chicken aside and slice it. In a saucepan melt the butter and add the flour, stir until you get a classic roux.

Add the mustard and the milk gradually while continuing to stir until you get a thick and creamy sauce. In a small bowl mix the egg yolks, the lemon zest and the lemon juice. Put the mixture in the prepared bechamel and let it simmer slightly while continuing to stir. Turn off the heat and add the aromatic herbs.

At this point incorporate the cream. Put a layer of sauce, one of chicken, one of sauce and one of chicken. Cover with slices of fontina cheese and bake until the gratin is perfect!
