CHICKEN NORMANDY (ESCALOPE DE POULET A LA NORMANDE)



Chicken Normandy (Escalope de Poulet a la Normande) image

This is how my mum and grandma make chicken Normandy. The main things in this recipe are to have the chicken breasts really tender and the sauce not too liquidy. Bon appetit!

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
4 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 (4.5 ounce) can button mushrooms, drained
1 cup heavy cream
1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, or more to taste
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 cups hot cooked rice, or as needed

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-sear chicken breasts in the hot oil until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken breasts from the skillet.
  • Add drained mushrooms to the pan juices in the skillet and cook until they start to pop, about 5 minutes.
  • Whisk together cream, egg yolk, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small bowl; pour into the skillet with the mushrooms. Return chicken breasts to the skillet and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the egg yolk from setting, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken breast should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Serve with cooked white rice.

POULET DE NORMANDY



Poulet de Normandy image

This is another recipe that I got out of our local electric cooperative magazine. This needs to be made up the night before you intend to serve it. It calls for refrigerating overnight. Good comfort food!!! Cook time does NOT include the refrigerate time.

POULET à LA NORMANDE



Poulet à la Normande image

This simple, classic braise from northern France brings together the fall flavors of sweet apples, yeasty cider, cream and chicken. The only trick is flambéing the Calvados or brandy, which gives it a toasty flavor - it's literally playing with fire, so if you'd prefer not to do that, you can stay safe and get very similar results by pouring the liquor in off-heat, and gently simmering it to evaporate the alcohol.

Categories     main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 3-4 pound chicken, cut into 8 bone-in pieces
Salt and black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil, duck fat or chicken fat
1/2 cup Calvados or cognac
1 1/4 cups hard cider, preferably a yeasty French one
15 pearl onions, peeled (frozen is fine)
1 1/2 pounds honeycrisp apples, or any variety that doesn't melt when cooked
2 tablespoons cornstarch
5 tablespoons crème fraîche (see note)

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken very dry with paper towels, and season well with salt and pepper. Heat the fat in a large Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Brown the chicken, in batches if necessary, skin side down until deep golden, 6 to 8 minutes, then flip, and sear the other side until golden, another 3 minutes.
  • If flambéing: Make sure there is nothing flammable near or above your stove. Gently warm the Calvados in a saucepan over medium heat. When the chicken is well browned, protect your hand, and use a long kitchen match to light the liquor on fire, then carefully pour it into the chicken pan. The flame can shoot over 2 feet high, so be careful. Cook until the flame subsides. If not flambéing: Once the chicken is browned, turn off the heat, and add the Calvados. When the sizzling subsides, turn the heat on to medium low, bring the liquid to a simmer and cook for 4 minutes to evaporate the alcohol.
  • Add the cider and onions, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Turn the heat down to a very gentle simmer. Quickly peel and core the apples, and cut them into 1 1/2-inch chunks, and place them on top of the chicken. Cover the pan, and cook, checking occasionally to ensure the liquid is maintaining a gentle simmer, not boiling, until the chicken is just cooked through, 35-40 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken, onions and apples to a platter, and cover. Make a slurry with the cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of cold water. Stir this into the braising liquid, and bring to a simmer for 1 minute, until thickened. Stir in the crème fraîche, and season the sauce with salt to taste, replace the chicken, onions and apples in the sauce and serve with crusty bread and a salad.

NORMANDY-STYLE CHICKEN AND LEEKS WITH CREME FRAICHE



Normandy-Style Chicken and Leeks with Creme Fraiche image

Leeks grow in abundance in Normandy, in northern France, where the alliums are celebrated for their ability to transform even the simplest dish into something spectacular. Take chicken Normande, a multi-layered main course of braised chicken, hard apple cider (another local specialty), and of course, leeks. Serve this with crusty bread. This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Vegetables" (Clarkson Potter).

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds), cut into 10 pieces (each breast half cut in half crosswise)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 small leeks (white and pale-green parts only), cut crosswise into 3-inch pieces, rinsed well (about 1 pound)
1 cup good-quality hard apple cider
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup store-bought or homemade Creme Fraiche
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Season chicken all over with salt and pepper. Melt butter with the oil in a large enameled cast-iron Dutch oven over medium-high heat until just bubbling. Add half the chicken pieces, skin sides down; cook, turning once, until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer chicken pieces to a plate; set aside. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces; add to plate. Remove pot from heat; let cool slightly.
  • Return pot to medium-low heat, and add leeks. Cook, stirring frequently, until leeks begin to soften and are pale golden, about 3 minutes. Add hard cider and thyme. Move leeks to edges of pot, and add all the chicken pieces to pot, skin sides down. Arrange leeks over chicken. Cover, and cook 15 minutes (if liquid is bubbling rapidly, reduce heat to low). Turn chicken pieces, and cook until breasts are cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Use a slotted spoon to transfer chicken breasts to a plate, and cover to keep warm. Adjust leeks so they are submerged in liquid. Cook, uncovered, until the remaining chicken pieces are tender and cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Transfer all of the chicken to a warm serving platter. Remove leeks from pot, and arrange them around the chicken. Cover to keep warm. Return pot to medium heat. Cook, uncovered, until liquid has reduced by about half (to a scant 2/3 cup), 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low. Whisk in the creme fraiche and parsley. Ladle pan sauce over chicken and leeks. Serve immediately.
