Savoury Recipe - Spring chicken casserole with mushrooms, asparagus and potatoes
Who doesn't enjoy a good roast chicken! A great culinary tradition, it is the Proust's madeleine for poultry lovers and the perfect combo for a good early spring dish.
It is accompanied by beautiful green asparagus, button mushrooms and delicious baked potatoes cooked with cloves of garlic.Garlic confit, for added indulgence.
Don't hesitate to ask your butcher to cut your chicken into quarters and leave the carcass for your sauce. But if you prefer, you can skip this step and use a little brown stock powder, as indicated in the recipe.
For the asparagus, choose fine Italian asparagus, which does not require peeling. A tray of ready-to-cook asparagus heads is also an excellent choice.
