Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chicken Normandy (Escalope de Poulet à la Normande).
Step 1
Begin by warming olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once hot, add the chicken breasts and sear them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they achieve a beautiful golden-brown color.
Step 3
Once seared, carefully remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to rest.
Step 4
In the same skillet, introduce the drained mushrooms to the flavorful remnants.
Step 5
Sauté the mushrooms for about 5 minutes, allowing them to pop and release their earthy aroma.
Step 6
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together heavy cream, egg yolk, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Step 7
Pour this creamy concoction into the skillet with the mushrooms, stirring gently to combine.
Step 8
Now, return the seared chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the mushroom sauce.
Step 9
Let everything simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to ensure the egg yolk remains creamy and does not set.
Step 10
Cook until the chicken is thoroughly done and no longer pink in the center, which should take about 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 11
For safety, check that the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 12
Once ready, serve the succulent chicken and rich sauce over a bed of steaming hot rice, creating a comforting and delicious meal that’s sure to impress.
