Chicken soufflé in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make chicken soufflé in the oven? Very easy and simple! To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. To get a dietary low-fat soufflé, use chicken breast fillet. The breast can be replaced with meat from the thigh, but in this case the calorie content of the dish may change.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the chicken fillet and dry it. If there are pieces of fat on the meat, trim them off. To make the chicken cook faster, cut each fillet in half.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the chicken in boiling salted water. Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. During this time, the meat will have time to lightly cook and remain soft and tender. Remove the chicken from the broth. For convenience, you can cut each piece into several more pieces.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pass the chicken through a meat grinder with the smallest holes or grind in a blender.

5. STEP 5

   

   Divide the eggs into yolks and whites, being careful not to get a drop of yolk into the whites. The whites should be cold. The container in which the whites will be beaten must be clean, without droplets of water. If any of these conditions are violated, the whites will not whip into foam. Place the egg whites in the refrigerator while you prepare the sauce.

6. STEP 6

   

   Now prepare the sauce. Instead of milk, you can use cream with 10% fat. This will make the sauce more tender and the dish tastier, but keep in mind that with such a replacement the calorie content of the dish will change.

7. STEP 7

   

   Melt the butter in a frying pan over low heat. Add flour and stir quickly.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour in milk at room temperature. Cook the sauce over low heat at a constant simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened. If you cannot avoid lumps, strain the sauce through a sieve.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add milk sauce, yolks, salt and pepper to the minced chicken. Mix the minced meat thoroughly until smooth.

10. STEP 10

    

    Beat the egg whites with a mixer until stiff.

11. STEP 11

    

    Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the chicken mixture.

12. STEP 12

    

    The result should be a fluffy, airy, viscous flowing mass.

13. STEP 13

    

    Grease the baking dish well with butter. Add the chicken mixture and smooth it out. Bake the souffle in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 30 minutes until cooked and golden brown on the surface. The exact baking time depends on your oven. Bon appetit!

It turned out to be a magical soufflé, the whole family was delighted!!! Lush, airy, melts in your mouth!!! In my version, when beating chicken breast in a blender, I added 2/3 cup of chicken broth, the soufflé turned out to be not so dry, but tender. If you like a thicker consistency, you don’t need to add broth. It's up to you, according to your taste! Bon appetit!

Great step by step, simple recipe! Quite time-consuming, to be honest. I'm glad it turned out delicious. My wife says it looks like an omelette. It seemed to me that the taste was a little “rubbery” due to the chicken breast, which always turns out a little dry. Thanks for the recipe!
