Update Success !
It is still that time of the year for comfort food. I know people say spring begins in February – but it certainly doesn’t feel like it yet! Whatever the weather, I think you will enjoy both of these recipes time and again.
The chicken and potato pie with broccoli is a meal you could make the night before, or you will have it done in an hour in the evening. This pie would also be delicious with a cheesy mashed potato topping. The creme fraîche lightens it and it is not as filling as a béchamel sauce.
The poulet bon femme is quite like the French classic coq au vin, which was traditionally made with a rooster and with a red Burgundy wine. Here I am using white wine and good chicken, ideally corn-fed. You might like to try smoked lardons instead of the streaky bacon for a change. I love this served with rice.
Happy Cooking,
Neven
