Treat your ingredients with care...
- Cancoillotte cheese — Make sure to use a high-quality Cancoillotte cheese for the best flavor and texture. If you can't find Cancoillotte, you can substitute it with a creamy and mild cheese like Brie or Camembert.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs for 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a tablespoon of flour to the skillet after sautéing the onion and garlic. Cook the flour for a minute before adding the cheese and broth.
- Serve the Poulet à la Cancoillotte with a side of crusty French bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Serving advice
Poulet à la Cancoillotte is best served hot, straight from the skillet. Pair it with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
Presentation advice
To present the Poulet à la Cancoillotte beautifully, place the chicken breasts on a serving platter and pour the creamy sauce over them. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, for a pop of color.
