Ingredients
  

  • 600 g Chicken breasts boneless, skinless, cut into 2.5 cm pieces
  • 30 g Butter
  • 30 g Plain flour
  • 500 ml Whole milk
  • 100 g Gruyère cheese grated
  • 50 g Parmesan cheese grated
  • 0.25 tsp Nutmeg freshly grated
  • 15 ml Olive oil
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 pinch Black pepper freshly ground
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • gordon ramsay food
  • Large saucepan
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your gordon ramsay food to 200°C (390°F). Lightly grease an ovenproof dish or baking tray.
  2. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and almost cooked through. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer the chicken to the prepared ovenproof dish.
  3. In the same saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a smooth roux. Cook until lightly golden.
  4. Gradually whisk in the milk, a little at a time, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to whisk until the sauce thickens and comes to a gentle simmer. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Remove the béchamel sauce from the heat. Stir in the grated Gruyère and Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with nutmeg, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  6. Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the chicken in the ovenproof dish. Ensure all chicken pieces are coated.
  7. Bake in the preheated gordon ramsay food for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling, golden brown on top, and the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  8. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed green beans or crusty bread.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to your cheese sauce. It adds a subtle warmth that really complements the richness of the Morney.
