Chicken supremes with wild mushroom sauce

A supreme is a chicken breast with the wing attached as a tasty little bonus. Here they are roasted till golden and crisp, and served with a rich wild mushroom, pancetta and cream sauce. A deliciously decadent dish for two.

Chicken supremes with wild mushroom sauce recipe

200 g wild mushrooms
1 shallot
2 garlic cloves
A few thyme sprigs (leaves only)
A small handful of parsley
2 chicken supremes
100 g pancetta
100 ml double cream
300 ml chicken stock
Your favourite potato or vegetable sides (to serve)

Warm your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6. Brush or scrub the wild mushrooms clean, if necessary, and trim any larger ones into bite-sized pieces. Peel and finely chop the shallot. Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Pick and roughly chop the thyme and parsley leaves, keeping them separate.
Pour 1 tbsp oil into a large, deep frying pan or shallow casserole dish and warm to a medium-high heat. Remove the packaging from the chicken supremes and rub them with a good pinch of salt and pepper. When the pan is hot, add the chicken, skin-side-down. Fry the chicken for 4-5 mins, till the skin is golden and crisp, then transfer to a small roasting tin, skin-side-up. Slide the chicken into the oven and roast for 20 mins, till cooked through. When the chicken is cooked, pop the roasting tin to one side and rest for 5 mins.
Meanwhile, pour 1 tbsp oil into the pan you used to cook the chicken and warm to a medium heat. Add the pancetta, shallot, garlic and thyme. Fry for 4-5 mins, stirring occasionally, till the pancetta starts to crisp at the edges. Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 2-3 mins, stirring often.
Pour in 100ml double cream and 300ml chicken stock. Bring to a bubble, then simmer for a further 3-4 mins, till the sauce has thickened a little. Taste and add a pinch of salt and pepper to the sauce, if needed. Stir in the chopped parsley.
Pop the chicken supremes on plates. Spoon over the mushroom sauce and serve with your favourite vegetables or potato dishes on the side.

Wow was this good. My wife and I absolutely loved it. Great earthy taste. Used double smoked bacon. This one is a keeper. I also bought whole mushrooms and quartered them lengthwise with stems on. Small ones I just halved. I also just used chicken breasts. Next I’ll try just thighs:) I will admit that sometimes you need to “interpret” these recipes as some are not clear. Nowhere does it say to chop the pancetta (I cut bacon into small cubes).

I agree with Stephen. Clearly not that fluent in English as everyone knows "pop" means to put. Must not be familiar with American terminology.

  It is well known in America that "pop" is a slang term for put.

Clearly not that fluent in English. If you change 'pop' for put , it should hopefully make sense even to people who are not stupid.

  Elizabeth My husband, who is an English professor, said that "pop" is NOT commonly said in America. at all. It is definitely an Anglicism, i.e a British expression. Most people here, in the States, would understand the term because of the context in which it appears, but they would soonersay "put.". Patricia is right: try to be nicer to foreigners.

  Why can’t people just be nice and say it means ‘put it or transfer it to a plate’. Many foreign languages have quirky little sayings that we don’t understand.

Just made this and it was a big hit. The sauce was delicious and earthy. I used onion and double smoked, thick cut bacon without issue. I also used a store cut up chicken since supremes we’re not available and I had to increase the cooking time of the breast’s. But I took the wings, then legs, then thighs out to keep them from over cooking. Everything came out fantastic. Wife said this a sure keeper! Big fan of Taste of France!
