Chicken with Morel Mushrooms

Ingredients :


  • 300 g fresh morel mushrooms
  • 1.75 kg chicken, cut into 8-10 pieces
  • 75g butter
  • 300 ml dry sherry
  • 200ml double cream
  • lemon juice for marination
  • chopped coriander

Preparation :


  • Marinade the chicken in lemon juice for half an hour prior to cooking.
  • In a sauce pan, sauté the chicken pieces over medium heat in small quantities, in butter, until brown.
  • Once all chicken pieces are browned, remove on to a plate and keep aside. Add the remaining butter to the pan. Saute the mushrooms in the pan for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the sherry and bring to a boil.
  • Add the chicken in the pan and cook for about 45 minutes on low heat.
  • Remove the chicken pieces from the pan, and cover with aluminium foil to keep warm. Alternatively, you can also place them in an oven on low.
  • To make the sauce, remove the fat layer from the cooking liquid left in the pan used to cook the chicken.
  • Continue to reduce the sauce on the heat, until it reduces to a quarter. Add cream and bring to a boil.
  • Add lemon juice and salt, to taste.
  • Put chicken back in the pan and cook for a couple of minutes.
  • Garnish with coriander and serve.
