I this at a friends house and it was great. She gave me a list of ingredients and this is what I came up with. It is great as pheasant works well with dove breasts and chicken breast with or without skin. Great with rice or noodles. Serve with a salad and rolls for a great meal.

2 pheasants (2 1/2 to 3 pounds each), thawed if frozen
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 package (8 ounces) whole mushrooms

1 cup half-and-half
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tablespoons dry sherry or chicken broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves

  • Heat oven to 350°. Cut each pheasant in half along backbone and breastbone from tail to neck with kitchen scissors. Mix flour, seasoned salt and pepper in shallow bowl. Coat pheasant generously with flour mixture. Reserve remaining flour mixture.
  • Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pheasants in oil 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until well browned. Place in ungreased rectangular pan, 13x 9 x 2 inches, or in shallow roasting pan. Top and surround pheasants with mushrooms and carrots.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Choose the right pheasant: If you're using a wild pheasant, make sure it's been properly cleaned and dressed. You can also use a store-bought pheasant, which will be already cleaned and ready to cook.
  • Brown the pheasant well: This will help develop flavor and color. Make sure the pheasant is browned on all sides before adding the other ingredients.
  • Use a good quality cream: The cream is one of the key ingredients in this dish, so make sure you use a good quality one. Heavy cream or crème fraîche will work well.
  • Don't overcook the pheasant: Pheasant is a delicate meat, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the pheasant until it is just cooked through, or the meat will become dry and tough.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's made. The pheasant will be at its most tender and flavorful when it's hot off the stove.

Conclusion:

Pheasant or chicken en crème is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The pheasant is browned and then simmered in a creamy sauce, resulting in a tender and flavorful dish. This dish can be served with a variety of side dishes, such as rice, pasta, or potatoes.
