Ingredients

Servings

4 chicken breasts (1.8 lb [0.8 kg])

2 clove garlic mashed
2 tablespoons salted butter (salted)
3 medium white onion (1.3 lb [600g]), cut into thin strips

Instructions

1. Boil

Mix chicken breasts, parsley and garlic. Cover with water and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Boil until chicken is very tender, adding water if it becomes necessary. Cool to room temperature.

2. Shred

Remove chicken from the liquid (you can save it and use it as chicken broth). Shred the chicken into very small pieces.

3. Cook

In a skillet heat the butter over very low heat. Add in onions and cook stirring until the onions have become translucent. Stir in chicken and cook and stir until the chicken is heated through. Sprinkle with the flour and mix well. Pour in the milk and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated and there is a small amount of thick sauce in the skillet. Remove from the heat and mix in the parmesan and minced parsley.

4. Serve

Season with salt and pepper to taste if you find it necessary. Serve warm as a standalone dish, or cool to room temperature before stuffing empanadas and pastelones.

Notes

If you want to save some time, use supermarket roasted chicken for the filling, shred it, and skip the step in which you boil the chicken, proceeding with the remaining steps as instructed.
