poulet Vallée d’Auge

chicken and mushrooms

Poulet vallée d'Auge

Normandy’s classic chicken dish poulet Vallée d’Auge is a Sunday lunch favourite: take a whole chicken, brown in butter, add mushrooms and flambée it in Calvados, then add a glass of cider and cook until done. Remove the chicken from the pot, add crème fraîche and an egg yolk to the sauce, then pour over the chicken.
