Preparation

  1. Wash asparagus, remove tough ends and peel any fibrous skin. Weigh 240 g prepared asparagus and cut into sections about 4 cm long. Slice cleaned leek and cut the weighed raw chicken breast into strips.
  2. Heat all the weighed 5 g olive oil in a small saucepan and soften leek in it. Add chicken, briefly sear on both sides, then add asparagus and crushed garlic.
  3. Pour in all the weighed 150 g water, cover with a well-fitting lid and stew over a low heat. Stir occasionally. Finish cooking when asparagus is tender and the thickest chicken piece reaches at least 74°C on a kitchen thermometer.
  4. Add all the weighed salt, pepper and pine nuts. Stir and heat briefly. Serve the ingredients with the resulting sauce, without adding unmeasured water or olive oil.
