Boil the broccoli florets very briefly in salted water and let them pan in cold water.

Peel the potatoes and cook them al dente in salted water.

Make the sauce. Season the chicken stock firmly with salt and pepper and reduce for 15 minutes with bay leaf and thyme.

Remove the bay leaf and sprig of thyme from the stock. Keep 4 beautiful sprigs of watercress aside. Mix the rest of the washed watercress into the sauce, together with the Solo Crèmefine Licht and the sour cream.

Presentation: Place two tablespoons of julienne vegetables in a deep plate and add the broccoli.

Place the chicken breast on top and arrange the potatoes with it. Pour the sauce generously over it.

Decorate with a fresh green sprig of watercress and serve.
