Chicken Malakow – Special German Chicken Egg Recipe

Chicken Malakow is an interesting recipe. I was searching online to find some background material for this recipe as the name does not really sound German (Malakoff). It sounds Russion but see below where it really comes from.
So after some time I found some results:  Malakow, Jean J. Péllisier (1794-1864) was a French Marshall who got the title of a duke from Napoleon after the battle of Malakow (Region of Krim) in 1855.
Afterwards the name was adopted by the cooks of the French cuisine, and it was added to special recipes as the “Malachow Cake”. I found this recipe in a booklet called “Slim with eggs”, and thought this is a special egg dish which I like to post.  The Chicken Malakow could be a great dish for the brunch buffet or for breakfast. Happy Cooking!
