Easy Poulet à la Crème

Saturday August 16, 2008

Poulet à la crème, or chicken in cream, is a versatile meal in France. There are countless variations of the dish, and this one is among the simplest. Made famous in the Bresse region, this recipe is an easy preparation of chicken browned in butter and then braised in a thyme-infused wine and cream reduction. The lily is gilded by serving the chicken with caramelized mushrooms, onions, and shallots. The result is delicious and even beginning cooks can make it to perfection. Bon appetit!
