Poulet Véronique (Chicken Véronique): Classic French recipe for a dish of chicken cooked in white wine and chicken stock where the sauce is finished with double cream, mushrooms and peeled and halved green grapes.
Ingredients:
4 boneless chicken breasts, skins removed
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp butter
350ml dry white wine
350ml chicken stock
450ml double cream
6 button mushrooms, sliced
175g green grapes, peeled and halved
Method:
Liberally season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Place a frying pan on the hob and when it is hot stir in the butter. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 30 seconds on each side, or until coloured a light brown. Add the mushrooms and fry gently on both sides then remove from the pan and set aside.
Now pour in the white wine and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook the chicken breasts in this mixture for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked through. (The juices should run clear when the chicken is pierced in its thickest part).
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside to keep warm. Increase the heat and bring the poaching liquid to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the volume has reduced by half. Now stir in the cream and cook for about 2 minutes more, or until the sauce has thickened. Return the chicken to the pan and turn to coat in the sauce. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
When ready to serve, stir in the grapes. Allow to warm through and serve hot on a bed of rice.
