The breasts are usually a bit dry protein for the palate. The idea is to mix with a little sauce to match textures and flavors. If you don't know how to prepare a green sauce, or you don't feel like it, you can:

• Make a bechamel-type sauce with enough flavor.

• You can also mix a little vinegar, mustard and salt.
