Method

1. Fill a pot with water, add the celery, carrot, and a pinch of salt, then bring to a boil.
2. Add the whole chicken breast and simmer over medium-low heat for about 12-15 minutes until fully cooked.
3. While the chicken cooks, prepare the sauce by blending the Greek yogurt, drained tuna, anchovies, and half of the capers.
4. Add the lemon juice to the sauce and blend until perfectly smooth and creamy.
5. Once the chicken is ready, let it cool completely, then slice it into thin medallions.
6. Arrange the chicken slices on a plate and cover them generously with the tuna sauce.
7. Garnish with the remaining capers and serve cold.

Tips

• For the best texture, let the chicken cool in its own broth to keep it moist before slicing.
• This dish is perfect for meal prep; it tastes even better after a few hours in the fridge.
