Ingredients

Servings: 4
  • 1 Pretzel
  • 7-10 Tbsp Grease
  • 2 Chicken fillets (approx. 150 g each)
  • 2 TABLESPOONS Oil
  • 7-10 Tbsp Salt
  • 7-10 Tbsp Pepper
  • 400 g Pasta (e.g. short macaroni)
  • 2 Onions
  • 100 g Raclette cheese (piece)
  • 100 g Gruyère cheese (piece)
  • 4 TABLESPOONS Butter
  • 3 TABLESPOONS Flour
  • 1⁄2 l Milk
  • 2 TEASPOONS Tomato paste
  • 2-3 TEASPOONS White wine vinegar

Directions

  1. 1

    Cut the pretzel into approx. 0.5 cm thin slices and roast them in a pan without fat at low heat while turning for approx. 1 minute (the slices must not turn brown!). Take them out. Grease four small or one large casserole dish.

  2. 2

    Wash the meat, dab dry and cut into thin strips. Heat the oil in the pan already in use. Fry the chicken strips for about 5 minutes, turning them over. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Take it out. Cook pasta in 3-4 l boiling salted water (1 teaspoon salt per litre) according to package instructions. Preheat oven (electric cooker: 180 °C/circulating air: 160 °C/gas: see manufacturer).

  4. 4

    For the sauce, peel and finely dice the onions. Grate both cheeses finely. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a pot at low heat (but do not brown!). Sauté onions in it until transparent. Add the flour completely and sweat lightly with a whisk while stirring for about 1 minute (the flour must not brown either!).

  5. 5

    Stir in the milk bit by bit and bring to the boil while stirring. Simmer for 2-3 minutes while stirring continuously. Stir in cheese, up to 4 tbsp., and tomato paste and simmer while stirring until the cheese has melted.

  6. 6

    Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper and vinegar.

  7. 7

    Pour the pasta into a sieve, rinse and drain. Crumble the pretzel slices between your fingers over a small bowl and knead with 1 tablespoon butter. Mix the noodles, meat and sauce and put them into the greased forms or baking dish.

  8. 8

    Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Spread pretzel butter in flakes on top. Bake in a hot oven for about 20 minutes. Oh, daddy! This is gonna be awesome.
