Poulet a la Creme ( Chicken Tenders in a Cream Sauce)


As a french person, I am proud to say that I do not own “fat free” and “light” food. Eating well is very important, for your health but also for your waist… So I tried to cook healthy as much as I can. And as you have seen on my blog, I tried to cook without using oil or fats. I do, however, have cream and butter in my fridge at all times because you just never know when I will be using it. Tuesday evening, my husband was away for business so I only needed to cook one meal. My children love chicken like me so i decided a fix them a very simple recipe that has been a favorite of them for ever. And it needed cream… luckily I had some in my fridge;-)

Ingredients for 3: chicken tenderloins (3-4 per person), salt, pepper, 1 tbsp of butter, 1 1/4 cup of heavy cream.

In a large frying pan, melt the butter and when the butter is sizzling, add the chicken. Saute the chicken for a few minutes on each side ( 1-2 minutes). Season with salt and pepper ( 1/8 tsp of salt, 1/16 tsp of pepper), and add the cream. Bring the cream to boil and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. For added flavor you may add 1 tsp of mustard, and saute mushrooms but my children like neither so i did not add it. They ate the chicken with lefts-over potatoes from this past Sunday. They loved it.

You ought to try. It was easy and yummy;-)

Bon Appetit and Happy Cooking!!!
