Creamy Chicken with Morel Mushroom sauce | Classic French Recipes

[@lisagerman2111]

Chef - thank you for reintroducing classic French cuisine into everyday cooking. Having had full career as a Chef, (trained at CIA Hyde Park, NY), when Classical/Continental cuisine was regarded as benchmark even as Nouvelle Cuisine was emerging. Being grounded in fundamental techniques - absolutely essential, as you so beautifully demonstrate. Any, and everything, is possible when those techniques are mastered - it is the springboard for creativity and innovation. Even after 40yrs, a quick review of classic techniques is sometimes necessary to refresh the mind prior to creating a dish not made since apprenticeship! Again, as one professional to another, and with highest regards- thank you

Cooking for myself and wife on a fixed income, we can't afford morels. So I made this amazing recipe with dried shitake (2/3) and button mushrooms (1/3). This is soooooo good! My wife is already begging for an encore! I can't wait to make it again! Thank you, thank you, thank you. My respect for French subtly is restored.

[@Pat14922]

My first thought was shitake and paris browns which I can get both locally . Thx for tip.

[@andi63]

Shitake and morels are worlds apart.

[@paxconsciente3352]

I only payed about 5 bucks for a pack

[@overson15]

I find pounds of them on my property every spring 😊

[@paxconsciente3352]

@@overson15 my buddy picked mushrooms once for us, we didnt die but we shat ourselves for the remainder of the festival. local store is sellin em $50 a pound and im goin off to buy some.

[@Maronite2]

I had this dish served in First Class on board an Air France flight from Rome to Paris, decades ago. It was the first time I ever ate morel mushrooms and was dazzled by the awesome deliciousness of the meal. Never forgot that experience. Thank you for the recipe.

[@wiseguy7224]

Stephane, you will not believe how often your meals are making me smile at the end of your videos. It's like magic ! And there's so much to learn from you... Many thanks for your recipes !!! Regards from Cologne

[@jairmarin]

Thank you so much! Merci! I did it last night and it was a hit. I realized that you have to cook it slowly and simmer most of the time to get more out of the flavors and careful not to overcook the chicken.

[@JJoeisCooking]

This is the kind of cooking that I identify with classic French cuisine. Love it.

French Cooking Academy--I love this channel. I am only part French, but it gives me a chance to revisit my Gallic roots and to hone culinary skills that are, since I am retired and my children are long since launched on lives of their own, dwindling with time. Thank you!

[@russ9921]

Beautifully presented, Stefan - including the simple table, old cutlery and porcelain which make the food look even better.

[@markcash2]

It is wonderful finding your channel. I was taught to cook by a French chef who did not speak as good English as you, but he taught me by flavor and smell in the kitchen. Your cooking reminds me of him. I miss him very much. He taught me more than just how to cook, but how to love cooking.

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

that’s a great view on cooking i like it 🙂

[@JB-ex4ny]

This recipe was easy and very yummy. We found dried morels at the grocery store ($$) but soaked them for about an hour and they plumped up real nice. The sauce was fantastic. Next time we'll probably cut back on the shallots a bit (1 vs 2) so they don't cover up the taste of the morels. You have a great channel!

[@lokadoll510]

Made this for my family today and it was a hit! So delicious and easy to make. I substituted a high quality coconut milk instead of cream to make it lactose free and it was amazing! Thank you!

[@Mirror1973]

I had this at Cafe Comptoir Abel in Lyon, one of the most delicious dinners I have ever had in my life!

[@Weekendatthecottage]

Fabulous! Who doesn't love a creamy, mushroom dish such as this? Merci!

[@rwatts2155]

I love this recipe. This is the time of year for fresh morels in Maryland and I go out to harvest them in the woods. I don't particularly like Sherry so I use Cognac or I have used Calvados. Great recipe! Great video!!! Love your channel!

[@puffin3]

We pick fresh morels in our back yard each year. Never enough to dry. Thank you very much for sharing your expertise. I will definitely make this recipe soon. Whenever I watch your videos I get homesick for S. France near Vallauris where I used to live. "It's all about the sauce" in French cooking.

[@beautifulrescue30]

I found a huge morel in my yard yesterday. I'm making this! My favorite meal on my honeymoon in Paris was a dish similar to this!

[@ashleydonica2336]

Morels are amazing. I've always fried them, but I really want to try this dish with them. I feel like their true flavor would come out more this way.

[@leahwesselmann6438]

Absolutely beautifully talked thru!! Excellent instructor!!!

[@stevenhansen5251]

Just got out of the woods with a nice bag of awesome morels sounds like your recipe is gonna be my dinner tomorrow evening thanks from S/W Wisconsin!

I made this a couple of times following this method and it turned out great! Keep up the good work with the channel, I am becoming a better cook as I watch your videos.

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

i al si glad to hear so many people watching the channel improve their cooking skills 🙂👍👨🏻‍🍳

I came from this Chef’s presentation video of the most expensive chicken dish and found this dish of yours better and much more tasty than the former. Thank you.

[@bigpapi3636]

What a beautiful recipe. Rich and luxurious. If I can afford Morels I'll be making this for sure!

[@MS-lt7qy]

I want to thank you chef Stephane for this fantastic recipe! I have made it today and it turned out great. I will save it in my recipe book.

[@halsmith2174]

Fixing this tonight using reconstituted dried morels - great video. Many thanks! IT WAS SUPERB!! I added a squeeze (about 1.5 Tablespoon) fresh lemon juice which really made the sauce sparkle and cut the richness just enough . I used dried morels ($$$~!) but will double the amount next time - Cost be damned for something this wonderful!!!

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

i know it is expensive but yeah it does taste great 😋😋👨🏻‍🍳

Was lucky enough to get some fresh spring Wisconsin morels, and did this exact recipe. It was fantastic.

[@faithpon9324]

Yum. Morel's grow in all around my home in Minnesota. So good glad to see a recipe with them. I've picked them about the size of that strainer. So I guess I would use just a couple smallish ones and chop them.

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

my god lucky people !! fresh morels all around i would love to have that . actually it’s funny because this recipe back in the old days was a special occasion dish where chicken was the most expensive item and morels were the free stuff then 😀😀😀👨🏻‍🍳

[@faithpon9324]

French Cooking Academy they grow only for a few weeks late spring. Very abundant in marshland areas and by lake and rivers. Which there are plenty in Minnesota. It is known as the land of 10000 Lakes. Actually closer to 100000 lakes. Seriously.

[@Alex_Time]

I made this and just wow. Amazing taste.

[@JVCarone]

I love morels, this sounds like a great recipe.

[@beeanantroj7267]

Merci chef,pour votre recette fantastique.

[@raltor40]

I find this amazing, I could easily source all the ingredients either locally or from my state. I think I will try and make this dish Pure Michigan.

[@rwatts2155]

There is surely a Mycology association in Michigan that you may want to join. The organizations usually have forays where they hunt for different kinds of wild mushrooms. If you do that BE CAREFUL to not collect the "false morel". It looks like the morel except that the "bell" of the morel is not attached to the stem at the bottom. The poisonous "false morel" is attached at the bottom of the "bell".

[@oliviaatherton1613]

I love your excitement in this one!!! I'm happy about this series=)

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

Thanks it's good to actually do series like that it feels more focused 🙂

[@maryleialoha2843]

Aloha Kakahiaka, I made this last night and it turned out exactly as you described. Wow! Wow! Wow! What an explosion of flavors!!! A good sherry really makes an impact (I used to throw either cabernet or sake in everything). My only challenge was I ordered the dehydrated morel mushrooms online and got a batch that had too many broken mushrooms. So if anyone makes this you need to make sure you get good quality morels that are guaranteed to be whole morels. I want to buy more, however the links in the description no longer works. Regardless, it still turned out great and yeah, those morels smell magnifique! Mahalo nui loa!!!

[@stevenhansen5251]

We are finally having a good year in s/w Wisconsin!

[@christianvulpescu1398]

I don't know, how many times, I've had the plesure to cook that "borderline insane" 😉😃 dish, thank's to you. Usually I served it with tagliatelle on the side, as you presented it in the video. But this time I decided to make fusion kitchen with the Italians: I made my own tagliatelle with a pasta mashine, boiled them and combined the pasta with the beautyful morel sauce in a pan, with pasta water (in order for the starche to binde the souce on the pasta). And than I did some "mantecatura", as the Italians say. Some tosting in the pan until the liquids were allmost reduced. The side dish, respectively the tagliatelle, was way better, than simply to put sauce on it! Anyway; I am one of your biggest fans. Got bless you - or something like that, less religious!😅😉 Best regards, Christian

Beautiful! I will make this sauce all for me. My husband doesn't like mushrooms and I'm vegetarian (so leaving out the chicken). Looking forward to morel season in Minnesota, but a commenter below had a great point that the fresh morels would not produce the lovely liquor that the dried ones do. Also, your English is excellent, your accent is charming and I have no difficulty understanding what you're saying.

@@FrenchCookingAcademy I guess there's 15 hours difference between where I live in Victoria BC and you in Australia, makes waiting for your next video all the more exciting! You know you got it all: you're young, strong, handsome, and a passionate Chef. You're going to make it to the very, very top, but just keep your head small! Don't let the ego get too big; Jacques Pepin's a good model of a guy who kept his head small, and became a one man National Institution. In his day he was up there w/Julia Child, whom I remember watching when I was a kid on the black & white TV! I'll tell you a great anecdote about him: he was offered to be Chef at the White House, and he turned it down!! Which I think is enormously wonderful, I would have done the same. All too often the President is an idiot who follows orders from the real powers behind the throne. To show you how bad it is, President Nixon had ketchup with every meal, and he put ketchup on half of his food, which made his Chef cry!! So don't go there, just keep doing what you're doing, which is beautiful beautiful! I tell you what I tell my students: follow your heart. Not only will you be happy but all things will come to you. They will, I promise you! You are blessed with endless Charisma.

Morels are wild mushrooms and prone to have bugs in them, so you might want to inspect the holes carefully and then halve them lengthwise to check that there are no unwanted guests inside either.

[@ichigeri]

I ordered some dry morels and I'm doing this tonight. Going to use the breasts and debone the legs for the chicken. I assume this should have the fat trimmed and no skin due to the richness of the sauce. I am stoked. I found a sherry that should be similar as I looked up the type you listed and it suggested it was a 'medium dry' sherry.

How would you adjust this recipe for fresh morels? They will be in season, soon, here. Awesome video, thanks for posting!
