Preparation

Using kitchen string, tie together the parsley stalks, bay leaf and thyme to make a bouquet garni. Put aside.

Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then brown chicken on medium heat in a little oil and half the butter for 2-3 minutes. Add shallots, shake the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Add cognac, stir well, then light the cognac. When the flame dies down, add the wine, nutmeg and bouquet garni. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for about 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, sauté mushrooms in a pan in remaining butter. Add mushrooms to chicken and simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in lemon juice.

In a bowl, mix cream with egg yolks. While whisking continuously, pour the cooking liquid from the chicken into the cream and egg preparation. Then pour the cream sauce back into the chicken and mushrooms.

Keep on low heat for a few minutes (it must not boil), while gently stirring all the ingredients together.

Add chopped parsley, remove bouquet garni and serve.

It was tres successful!!

This recipe was easy to make - for an absolute novice like me - and tasted amazing!! I'm not a big fan of mushrooms so I only put in half the amount and substituted with carrot and zucchini. Nor could I find anything to tie the herbs together but they were fine during the cooking process. I did put half the bottle of wine like Gabriel does in the video - it seems like a lot until it boils off and is perfect then. Super impressed!!!

Hot Tips

Fresh vs dry pasta

Similarly to pasta shapes, the choice between fresh and dry pasta is more about matching flavours and textures than about which is superior. Fresh pasta is well suited to delicate sauces, but its primary purpose is to make tortellini, ravioli and lasagne sheets.
