How to properly prepare chicken supreme?
What is chicken supreme?
Chicken is a great ingredient that can be prepared in countless ways (check out our chicken recipes and gather inspiration for your next cooking).
Simple dishes combined with the delicate essence of thyme, rosemary and parsley or a sauce made from roasted root vegetables are cooked on their own and even easier to eat afterwards.
So what is Chicken Breast Supreme?
Many chicken dishes are titled “chicken supreme” these days, from dishes that are served in prestigious restaurants to classic homemade chicken recipes that use cream sauce or mushroom cream sauce as the main ingredient in the recipe.
In reality, though, chicken supreme in traditional French cuisine refers to a specific piece of chicken—specifically, a boneless, skinless chicken breast.
But in many recipes (including ours), the skin is left on the meat for a more crispy dish. The crispy, browned skin adds a distinct flavor to the chicken while retaining its juices, resulting in a more tender, tastier meat.
What is Supreme Sauce?
Supreme sauce is a classic sauce of French cuisine.
Supreme sauce is traditionally made from roux (a mixture of butter and flour) and meat stock – in this case, chicken stock.
The sauce is reduced with heavy cream, strained through a fine sieve or strainer and often flavored with lemon juice.
