Best 4 Mustard Chicken Poulet A La Moutarde Recipes

POULET A LA MOUTARDE (CHICKEN IN DIJON MUSTARD SAUCE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Warm oil and butter in a large, ovenproof casserole or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper and place into the pot, skin-side down. Brush thighs with 1/2 the mustard. Cook until skin is golden, 3 to 4 minutes, and turn thighs over. Brush with remaining mustard. Cook 3 to 4 minutes more and transfer thighs to a plate.
• Reduce heat to medium and add sliced onion to the casserole. Cook until nearly clear, 5 to 6 minutes. Pour in wine to deglaze. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Keep cooking until sauce reduces slightly and no longer smells strongly of alcohol, 3 to 4 minutes more.
• Pour broth and heavy cream into the casserole dish. Scrape the bottom to loosen browned bits. Add bay leaf and thyme. Return chicken to the casserole dish and cover.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and juices run clear, about 40 minutes.

MUSTARD CHICKEN (POULET A LA MOUTARDE)

Steps:

• Combine and mix 1/2 cup mustard with the paprika, ground pepper, and salt in a bowl. Use your hands to rub the mustard mixture all over each chicken piece. Set coated chicken aside.
• In a large saucepan, fry the bacon bits over medium heat until they are just beginning to crisp up. Using a skimmer or a slotted spoon, transfer crisp bacon pieces to a small bowl and set aside. Discard about 1/2 of the rendered bacon fat.
• With the remaining fat still over medium heat, add the onions and thyme, and saute until soft. Transfer to the bacon bowl.
• Over medium-high heat, add the chicken wings to the pan in single layers without crowding them. If they do not all fit, work in batches. Brown the chicken wings for about 8-10 minutes per side. Do not be afraid of the brown bits accumulating on the pan, but regulate the heat so that they do not burn and turn black. Avoid moving the chicken around in the pan; this will prevent the skin from turning crisp.
• Once the chicken has all been browned, remove it from the pan and transfer it to a plate for a few moments. With the heat still on, add the white wine to de-glaze the pan. It will steam up, but don't be alarmed. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan as the wine simmers. This simmering will cook off the alcohol and give you the foundation of your pan sauce (the fond).
• Add the bacon and onions back to the pan with the fond and give it a little stir. Add all of the chicken back to the pan as well (cram it if you have to!), cover, and let it all simmer for 15-20 minutes.
• Turn the heat off and add the remaining 1/4 cup of mustard, the mustard seeds, and the creme fraiche to create the sauce. Give it all a good stir and try to coat the chicken wings with the sauce.
• Serve with parsley as a garnish.

Steps:

• I find it easier to cut my chicken into small pieces if it is only partially-thawed (if frozen), or I put it in the freezer for about an hour to firm it up, then cut.

• Heat remaining tblsp of oil until hot but not smoking and saute onions and mushrooms, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, or until golden.
• Add Sherry and deglaze skillet, stirring and scraping up brown bits.
• Stir in broth, cream cheese, garlic, mustard and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to suit your taste. Boil gently for 3 minutes, whisking to incorporate cream cheese and mustard into sauce.

• Arrange noodles or rice or mashed potatoes on a platter, spoon chicken and sauce over and sprinkle with parsley.
