Method

  1. 1Cut the chicken breast fillets into 2 cm pieces, toss with 1 tsp of the sea salt and half the black pepper, and leave for 15 minutes.
  2. 2Peel the floury potatoes and cut them into 1.5 cm dice. Boil in well-salted water for 8 minutes until just tender, then drain and steam dry.
  3. 3Heat the cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with 20 g of the unsalted butter. Fry the chicken for 4–5 minutes, turning, until just cooked and no longer pink in the middle, then tip it onto a plate.
  4. 4Add the other 20 g of unsalted butter. Fry the onions, sliced, and the garlic, finely chopped, for 3 minutes, then add the potatoes and fry for 12–15 minutes until deep golden, stirring only now and then.
  5. 5Squeeze 150 g of the Vadasz Garlic & Dill Sauerkraut dry and stir it through with the Dijon mustard and the chicken. Taste and add the remaining sea salt and black pepper.
  6. 6Make four hollows in the hash. Crack in the large eggs, season the whites lightly, and bake at 200°C for 8–10 minutes until the whites are just set and the yolks are still soft.
  7. 7Scatter over the dill, chopped, and the remaining 50 g of Vadasz Garlic & Dill Sauerkraut. Serve straight from the skillet.
