Chicken in Cream Sauce Volaille a La Crme, This chicken in cream sauce recipe, famously known as volaille a la crme in the Bresse region, is delicious in its simplicity. Brown high-quality chicken in butter and then simmer it in a cream sauce. Thats all there is to it! Another recipe found on about.com for ZWT, French region., Wow, decadent!!!! Enjoyed this very much, a fabulous meal for not too much effort. I did use boneless chicken fillets which I chopped up, preferring it that way. I sliced most of the mushrooms and left just a few whole, served those to my husband, since I’m not a great mushroom lover. I had Creme Fraiche, but I did use dried thyme. All in all, fabulous! Definitely a keeper. Made for ZWT 8, thank you, diner!
