To prepare chicken cream, start by placing two washed, peeled, and halved carrots in a liter and a half of water, an onion studded with cloves, bay leaves, rosemary, and thyme bundled and tied with kitchen string, and peppercorns 1. Bring to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes. Salt the broth and add the chicken breast, which should cook for 20 minutes, until it's completely white inside 2. Remove the chicken from the broth, drain it, let it cool, and remove the bones and cartilage, cutting the flesh into small pieces 3.
Finely chop the flesh with half a cup of broth in a mixer 4. Strain the chicken broth using a sieve to remove the vegetables and herbs and set it aside 5. In a saucepan, place the finely crumbled breadcrumbs and add half a liter of the obtained broth 6, put it on the stove and stir until the broth thickens, add the chopped chicken, and stir well to combine everything.
Adjust the salt if necessary and add a sprinkle of nutmeg 7. Blend the cream again in the mixer to make it smooth and remove any lumps. To complete the chicken cream, add the fresh cream 8 and garnish with a parsley leaf or chives and slightly toasted bread croutons in a pan with a drizzle of oil 9.
