With wild rice.
Compare with this version from the October 21, 1965 edition of the (Madison) Wisconsin State Journal:
You could serve the Sunday chicken in the French manner. Chicken Dijon gets its name from the Dijon mustard in the recipe Chicken Dijon
Melt butter in frypan, add chicken, and cook until chicken is browned well on both sides. Add wine, tarragon, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 45 minutes or until meat is tender. Remove meat to heated serving dish and keep warm. Discard bay leaf. Blend pan liquid with egg yolks. Add sour cream, mustard, and cayenne pepper. Heat, stirring briskly and constantly. Do not allow to boil. Pour over chicken. Serves four. |
