Chicken meat has a vast influence on French cuisine. It is one of the sought-after ingredients that is incredibly easy to perfect each time. The recipe requires browning the chicken thighs, legs, and chicken breast to have nice crispy skin.
A genuine French classic — this chicken à la Moutarde with a literal translation of chicken in mustard sauce — A combination of cream, mustard, and many herbs. This dish is paired with creamy pureed broccoli instead of a classic potato which is much tastier. This recipe entails how to correctly butcher a whole chicken that you can use with this French classic. A spring-like dish composed of flavors, colors, and the fat sauce brings together the entire jus of the chicken.
