Ingredients 


Serves 6 people

FOR THE CRUST

  • 100g of butter

  • 6 chicken breasts
  • 2 butternut squash
  • 200g of chestnuts

Directions

  1. For the crust: mix the ingredients together, spread a very thin layer of the mixture between two sheets of baking paper (use a flat dish to support). Chill in the fridge.
  2. Boil the chestnuts and cream in a saucepan. Stir and season to taste.

  4. In a Dutch oven pot, grill the chicken breasts. When well-browned, cover with the mixture to form the crust.
  5. Cook in the oven for 10 minutes at 180°C.
  6. Arrange your plates with the chicken supreme, a piece of roasted butternut squash and the chestnut cream.
