Remarks
This recipe can also be served with pasta, rice or other vegetables instead of potatoes.
The quantities of white wine and cancoillotte can be adapted to your taste.
If you don't have fillets, but chicken pieces (thighs, wings, etc.), color them in the same way as the fillets in step 8, then put them in the oven for around 20 minutes to continue cooking.
