SUPRêME DE VOLAILLE FERMIèRE à LA CRèME (CHICKEN BREAST IN CREAM)
The author Bill Buford adapted this recipe, which he learned while working with the chef Mathieu Viannay at La Mère Brazier in Lyon, France. (Mr. Buford worked with the chef while researching his book "Dirt.") If you just made a batch of chicken stock, there are few better things to do with it than poaching chicken breasts in it. You get two benefits: white meat that is about as moist and tender as possible, and stock that is stronger than when you started, particularly if you poach the entire bird and save the legs for another night. The goal is to keep the liquid well below boiling; it's a stove-top approximation of the sous vide technique.

Steps:
- Set the chicken in a large, deep pot. Add the chicken stock, then add enough water to cover the chicken completely. Heat over high until the temperature of the cooking liquid reaches 160 degrees and is hot enough to steam. Cook the chicken until the inner thighs reach a temperature of 145 degrees, 30 to 40 minutes, monitoring the temperature and reducing the heat as needed throughout the cooking process to make sure the liquid stays under a simmer. Remove chicken from liquid and let rest until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes.
- While chicken rests, start the sauce: In a medium saucepan, whisk the butter and flour over low heat until the mixture melts into a thick, pale roux, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly add 3 cups of the hot chicken stock to the roux, whisking constantly over low heat, until roux and the liquid are emulsified. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking occasionally, until the mixture is reduced to 2 cups, about 15 minutes. (Let the remaining stock cool, then refrigerate or freeze for future use.)
- Meanwhile, remove the legs (they will not be fully cooked) and set them aside for another use (see Note). Carefully remove the skin from the chicken breasts, then, starting with the pointed end of each breast, separate the breasts from the breastbone, with your thumb if possible (or your knife if necessary), gently moving your thumb down the center bone that separates the two breasts on each side. Using a knife, ensure that you remove the rest of the breast meat (including the filets) from the bone without tearing; remove and discard any membranes from the surface of each breast. (The meat nearest the bone might still be slightly uncooked, but it will cook through in Step 6.)
- Whisk the cream into the sauce in the saucepan, and continue to cook at a simmer until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and has reduced to about 2 1/2 cups, another 15 to 20 minutes.
- Whisk in the mustard, then lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then add the port, if using.
- Add the breasts to the sauce to reheat, basting them until fully cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer each breast to a warmed plate and slice thickly, if desired. Gently spoon the sauce over the breast to serve.

Steps:
- Use a heavy, covered flameproof casserole about 10 inches in diameter. You need a round of waxed paper cut to fit the casserole. Hot serving dish. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rub the chicken with drops of lemon juice and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Heat butter in casserole until foaming. quickly roll the chicken in the butter, lay the paper over them, cover the casserole and place in hot oven. After 6 minutes, press tops of chicken with your finger; if still soft and squashy, return to oven for a minute or two more. They are done when they feel lightly springy and resilient; do not overcook them. Remove the chicken to hot serving dish; cover and keep warm while making the sauce, which will take 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the stock or bouillon and the wine into the casserole with the cooking butter and boil down rapidly over high heat until liquid is syrupy. Then pour the cream and boil rapidly until lightly thickened. Season carefully with salt, pepper, and drops of lemon juice. Pour the sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Step 1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees Farenheit (204 degrees Celsius).
- Step 2 Rub the chicken with lemon juice, and lightly sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
- Step 3 In an oven-proof pot (like a Dutch oven/Le Creuset) heat butter on medium-high. Once it's bubbly/foaming add in the chicken breast pieces. Cook each side for 3 minutes. Then take the chicken pieces out and set aside for later. (At this point the chicken is not fully cooked. Don't worry, it will be baked later.)
- Step 4 In the same pot add in the shallots and sauté for about a minute without browning. Then add in the mushrooms and sauté lightly for about 2 minutes, just until the mushrooms are lightly browned. Sprinkle with salt. (*see pic)
- Step 5 TIP: Use a dry brush or dry paper towel to clean your mushrooms. Add the chicken pieces back in the pot. (*see pic)
- Step 6 Grease one side of your parchment paper with butter. Then place it (buttered side down) over the chicken. (*see pic) Cover the pot with its lid and then put the entire pot into the oven. Bake for 30 minutes. (This step helps concentrate the flavors of the mushrooms and further cook the chicken.)
- Step 7 Once baking is done remove the chicken pieces and set aside on a plate.
- Step 8 MAKE THE SAUCE. Add the chicken stock and wine to the same pot with butter/mushrooms/shallots. If you are using thyme and mustard add it in now too. On medium-high heat boil down until it becomes thicker.
- Step 9 Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and boil down again over medium-high heat until cream has thickened slightly. If you want a creamier sauce add in additional heavy cream.
- Step 10 Turn off heat and taste for seasoning. (Add drops of lemon juice to taste, if desired.)
- Step 11 To serve you can either add the chicken back into the pot so that the chicken absorbs a bit of the sauce before it is served, or you can place your chicken directly on serving plates and pour the sauce right over the chicken.
- Step 12 Finish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley before serving.
CHICKEN SUPREME (SUPREMES DE VOLAILLE)
This is one of my favorite chicken dishes. It's something like chicken corden bleu but much better. A friend's mother was a caterer this was one of her most popular recipes. She says the recipe takes a little time (about an hour or so) but it's well worth it. The dish can be frozen for 2 to 3 months and it gets better when you reheat it.

CHICKEN BREASTS SUPREME
This won 1st place in county fair Dairy Main Dish Recipe Contest in 1972. Passed down in the family -- it's the dish I make when I make my first dinner for a boyfriend! Everyone loves this! (Even my daughter- picking out the mushrooms, of course!) Cook any kind of noodles or rice to have as a bed under the chicken and sauce. I always make double the sauce, because its sooo good! I use the sauce just with noodles as well.

Steps:
- One: Wash the chicken and pat dry. Place the chicken breasts skinned side up on a sheet of waxed paper or plastic wrap. Cover them with a second sheet of paper or wrap and, with a flat (not textured) wooden mallet, lightly beat them until flattened to a uniform thinness of less than 1/4 inch. Set aside.
- Two: Cut the ham and cheese into thin slices 1/2 inch wide and 2 inches long. Break the egg into a shallow bowl and beat until smooth. Spread the crumbs on a second shallow bowl. Spread the flour on a dinner plate.
- Three: Lay the chicken pieces on a flat work surface skinned side down. Lightly spread the inside of each breast with a little mustard (don't use too much or the mustard will overpower the other flavors). Stack 2 slices of cheese and a slice of ham (2 if they are very thin) in the center of each breast. Fold over the small side of the breast, then fold each end up, like an envelope, and finally fold over the large side. Make sure that the filling is completely encased. Roll the chicken first in the flour, shake off the excess, and dip each breast in the egg, allowing the excess to flow back into the bowl. Lay it in the crumbs. Roll it carefully so that it doesn't open up (crumbs should not get inside the folds or they won't stay closed when it cooks), patting the crumbs into all sides. When the piece is coated, lay it on a clean, dry plate and repeat until all the pieces are breaded. Set aside for at least half an hour to allow the breading to set. (You may make them several hours or even a day ahead up to this point. Cover and refrigerate, but take them out at least half an hour before cooking.)
- Four: Fill a deep Dutch oven, or a deep-fat fryer with enough peanut oil to come halfway up the sides, at least 2 inches deep. Over medium-high heat, bring the oil to 375°F (hot but not smoking). Add the chicken and fry until golden brown, maintaining a temperature of 365°F, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Five: Drain well and serve at once.
CHICKEN FRICASSEE (FRICASSEE DE POULET A L'ANCIENNE)
Also see our step-by-step photo tutorial for making Chicken Fricassee. A fricassee is halfway between a saute and a stew. A true classic -- with as many variations as there are grandmothers in France -- it relies on humble ingredients and just a single pot. It's the original French comfort food: simmered chicken with hearty vegetables in a rich, silky sauce. And almost as satisfying as the dish itself is having our one-pot master recipe in your repertoire.

Steps:
- Brown ChickenSeason chicken on both sides with 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Preheat a Dutch oven or other large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter and the oil to pot. When butter melts and foam subsides, add half the chicken, skin side down, in a single layer; do not crowd pot. (If butter begins to blacken, lower heat.) Fry chicken, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 10 minutes total, and transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Saute MirepoixReduce heat to medium, and add mirepoix (onion, carrot, and celery) to pot, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Saute mirepoix, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown in places, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Cook Mushrooms and FlourAdd mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms darken, become glossy, and begin to release liquid, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in flour, and cook until flour is absorbed by vegetables and is no longer visible, about 1 minute.
- Pour in Wine and BrothAdd wine to pot, and bring to a boil, stirring until liquid just thickens, about 45 seconds. Add broth, and stir.
- Simmer ChickenPlace chicken, skin side up, in a single layer on vegetables; pour juices that have accumulated on plate into pot. Tie parsley sprigs, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf together with kitchen twine; add to pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover partially. Cook until internal temperature of thickest part of chicken registers 165 degrees, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer chicken to a clean plate. Simmer liquid, uncovered, until reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Discard herbs.
- Make and Add LiaisonTo make the liaison (sauce thickener), whisk together egg yolks and cream in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, pour 1/2 cup cooking liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time, into liaison to temper it. Stir tempered liaison into pot.
- Finish with Tarragon, Lemon, and ButterReturn chicken to pot. Add tarragon, lemon juice, and the remaining butter. Bring to a simmer, stir gently to combine, and serve.
Tips:
- To ensure the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the chicken until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
- To make sure the sauce is smooth and creamy, whisk it constantly over medium heat.
- If you want a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) and bring the sauce to a simmer until it thickens.
- For a more flavorful sauce, use a combination of chicken broth and white wine.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or steamed vegetables.
Conclusion:
Suprêmes de Volaille à Blanc is a classic French dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the creamy sauce is rich and flavorful. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious meal that will impress your guests.
