Instructions

  1. Cut the stalk from all the savoy cabbage leaves and briefly blanch the leaves in boiling water.
  2. Lightly salt and pepper the chicken breasts, sprinkle with a pinch of caraway seeds and very finely chopped ham. Wrap one breast at a time in a savoy cabbage leaf. Do not tie in, but place side by side in a saucepan. Let it get hot in the butter. Pour on so much cream that the parcels are not covered, but cannot fry either (if you like, you can spread the remaining chopped savoy cabbage around it, then you will have more vegetables later). Cover and cook for approx. 20 minutes.
  3. Remove the parcel and any vegetables and keep them warm. Reduce the sauce, refine with crème fraiche and season to taste.
  4. Rice goes well with it.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
