Hello, my friends!

Bonjour mes amis!

Looking for yet another great way to serve chicken? Look no further, you have come to the right place. Do you have less than 30 minutes to create a great dish? Good, because that is what it will take to cook this up and get praises from your family and friends!

A little history behind this French classic dish; the meaning of Chasseur is an individual that was part of the French Napoleonic army attached to the light calvary. Part of their duty was to gather and hunt food. This is a rustic dish and was cooked in the field, hence “Hunters Chicken”.

The French chicken recipe with the ingredients along with written and printable instruction are below but be sure to watch the video to see the recipe being created in action!

Don’t forget! Make sure the oil is NOT hot when placing the chicken skin side down in the sauté pan.

Turn your chicken over once you have reached a nice golden brown color!

In another sauté pan add your mushrooms and tomatoes. Sauté until the moisture is removed. Add the parsley. Add to the chicken and serve!

Oh là là! Poulet Sauté Chasseur is served!
