A French Dinner Party at the Crème Cottage... with Chicken Dijon & Mushroom Duxelles

We returned to the Crème kitchen for another group dinner party!

I hosted an amazing family-with some friends as well! We could have talked and hung out for hours after all the food was eaten and the wine was consumed. They were so gracious and fun and LOVED the experience! 

We started the evening out by the pool and a glass of wine for everyone. As we retreated to the kitchen, mushrooms were on the menu. Mushrooms Duxelles is a French term for minced mushrooms with wine and herbs. We paired it with some fabulous grilled crostinis. It was a perfect way to start the evening out!

On to the Chicken Dijon…a sautéed chicken breast pounded ever so lightly to get all of the days aggressions out! Cream and Dijon make an appearance in the silky sauce that ties all the flavors together. A buttery herbed orzo for a surprise accompaniment to this fabulous chicken rounded out the evening.

Bellies full of food and laughter and TONS of memories were made for everyone!

And have you ever seen such a great group photo?? The picture doesn’t do justice for the fun we had that night! 

Until next time… cheers and love!! 

XOXO,
