Lille style chicken (Slideshow version)

Lille style chicken : Photo of step #26

Stage 13/13 :

Pour onto hot serving plates, and serve immediately.

Remarks

For complete success, chicken should be cooked in an old style (not non-stick) pan. Othewise after cooking the chicken, you will not get the tasty juices left on the bottom. The ideal pan is a stainless steel one.

And to drink?

I suggest you follow Patrick's advice, and try a Beaujolais:

"Chénas is one of the Beaujolais wines, and Domaine des Tourniers is one of the best. Old vines 70 to 100 years old, on a hillside, give the wine deep colour, a floral and fruity nose, with notes of blackcurrant and blackberry flavours. In the mouth, the wine has an expressive fruity taste, and finesse without too much tannin. This wine is the ideal accompaniment to Lille style chicken and other white meat recipes. Sells at La Cave de Bacchus in Brest"

PS: I followed his advice while preparing this recipe for the site, and it goes very well with it!
