Poularde Victoria

Poularde Washington

Chef Juliette

A black-truffle capon held inside a tight veal mantle, braised with Cognac until succulent and served with gleaming cooking liquor and cardoons ready to catch every spoonful.

The master sauté for poultry: jointed chicken coloured hard in clarified butter, cooked piece by piece to tenderness, then reunited with a pan sauce made from every bronze trace of fond.

Poulet Sauté Archiduc

Poulet Sauté Archiduc

A lesson in restraint: chicken gently stiffened in butter without browning, then cloaked in an ivory onion, brandy, cream, and velouté sauce sharpened with lemon, Madeira, and black truffle.

Poulet Sauté Arlésienne

Chef Juliette

Poulet Sauté Arlésienne

Golden chicken, a garlic-scented white-wine and tomatéd demi-glace sauce, and three Provençal garnishes kept distinct: Poulet Sauté Arlésienne teaches why aubergine and onion must fry separately to brown.

Poulet Sauté Armagnac

Chef Juliette

Poulet Sauté Armagnac

Poulet Sauté Armagnac teaches the pale sauté: tender chicken kept blond, then truffle, brandy, cream, and crayfish butter joined into a coral-gold sauce whose final rule is absolute, never boil it.

Poulet Sauté d’Artois

Chef Juliette

Poulet Sauté d’Artois

Bronzed chicken, Madeira, and a pale butter-mounted glaze meet artichoke bottoms, glazed carrot tournées, and pearl onions, each cooked separately so every element keeps its own character.

Poulet Sauté Beaulieu

Chef Juliette

Poulet Sauté Beaulieu

Butter-sautéed chicken, hazelnut-sized potatoes, artichoke bottoms, and black olives meet in earthenware, while white wine, lemon, veal stock, and the copper fond become the only sauce the dish needs.

Poulet Sauté Bordelaise

Chef Juliette

Poulet Sauté Bordelaise

Bordeaux’s name belongs to the garnish here: butter-sautéed chicken ringed with artichokes, potatoes, fried onion and parsley, finished with only enough pan gravy to make it gleam.

Poulet Sauté Boivin

Chef Juliette

Poulet Sauté Bretonne

Chef Juliette

Poulet Sauté Bretonne

Poulet Sauté Bretonne proves that pale cooking can carry depth: chicken gently set in butter, leeks and onion softened without colour, mushrooms added late, and cream reduced with Sauce Suprême to a satin coat.

Poulet Sauté aux Cèpes

Chef Juliette

Poulet Sauté aux Cèpes

Poulet Sauté aux Cèpes teaches the rhythm of the sauté pan: bronze the bird in oil, keep the porcini dry enough to colour, then mount the shallot and wine reduction with real butter.

Poulet Sauté Champeaux

Chef Juliette

Poulet Sauté Champeaux

Butter-sautéed chicken, pearl onions, and pommes noisette meet a white-wine reduction enriched with veal gravy, meat glaze, and cold butter: a Paris plate whose lesson is reduction before emulsion.

Poulet Sauté Chasseur

Chef Juliette

Poulet Sauté Chasseur

Butter-bronzed chicken, a sharply reduced white-wine swill, and glossy Chasseur Sauce: this is the sauté that proves a finished sauce still depends on what happens beneath the bird.

Poulet Sauté Cynthia

Chef Juliette

Poulet Sauté Cynthia

Butter-browned chicken meets a dry Champagne reduction mounted with cold butter, lemon, and curaçao, while peeled grapes and raw orange sections bring the bright freshness that keeps this classical sauce alive.

Poulet Sauté Demidoff

Chef Juliette

Poulet Sauté Demidoff

Poulet Sauté Demidoff turns exact knife work into flavor: butter-browned chicken, tender carrot and turnip crescents, and truffle joined by a spoonful of veal stock.

Poulet Sauté à la Doria

Chef Juliette

Poulet Sauté à la Doria

A quick classical sauté of bronzed chicken and tender cucumber finished with lemon, veal gravy, and beurre noisette, where timing the cucumber makes the difference between a glossy garnish and a watery pan.

Poulet Sauté à la Durand

Chef Juliette

Poulet Sauté à la Durand

Poulet Sauté à la Durand makes flour earn its keep: crisp oil-sautéed chicken circling fried onion rondelles, with a ham cornet of buttery tomato concassée at the center and no sauce to conceal careless browning.

Poulet Sauté à l’Égyptienne

Chef Juliette

Poulet Sauté à l’Égyptienne

Poulet Sauté à l’Égyptienne layers bronze chicken with onion, mushrooms, raw ham, and tomato in a covered cocotte. Drain the garnish properly, and the pieces roast in their own savor instead of swimming.
