  • Put the rinsed chicken breast on to simmer. If it's bone-in, take the meat off the bone and remove the skin. When the water comes to a boil, skim off the foam with a spoon and lower the heat. Season the broth with salt and a little ground black pepper. Add the carrots whole, without peeling. Cook the meat and carrots until tender, then lift them out and let them cool. Stir the gelatin into the chicken broth (you should have about a quart) and let it sit for half an hour to an hour. Tear the cooked breast into pieces — hands work best for this. Peel the carrots and cut them into rounds, cubes, or matchsticks, whatever you like; cutting them into little flower shapes looks especially pretty. Set the pot of broth over the heat and warm it, stirring, until the gelatin fully dissolves — but don't let it boil. Arrange the meat in a mold, top with the carrots, and add sprigs of fresh herbs (or save them to garnish the finished aspic before serving). Pour in the broth, let it cool, then refrigerate for 2-3 hours. Enjoy!
