Chicken breasts are the epitome of healthy eating. They are light, full of protein, versatile and suitable for almost any diet. However, they have one big problem – they are often dry. Almost everyone has prepared them at some point and wondered in disappointment why they are tasteless, tough and lean.

When the days get shorter, the mornings become foggy and the chill in the air gets that characteristic “winter bite”, we are awakened by the need for warmth – not only in the form of a scarf and tea, but also on a plate. In such moments, we remember dishes that not only fill us up, but also caress the soul. One such culinary embrace comes straight from the Austrian Alps – Kaiserschmarrn. But not the kind from a bag or the one from a tourist hut with questionable raisins. We are talking about the home-made version from the oven, which with its golden-brown crust and soft interior turns winter evenings into little sweet holidays.
