The Poulette Sauce is a creamy, tangy mushroom sauce for chicken and poultry dishes. The word poulette comes from the French word for "pullet," which refers to a young hen.
The Poulette Sauce is made by adding sautéed mushrooms, chopped parsley and lemon juice to a basic Allemande sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 quart Allemande sauce
  • 2 cups mushrooms (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp parsley (chopped)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice (or to taste)​

Steps to Make It

  1. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat until it's frothy. Add the mushrooms and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.​

  2. Add the Allemande sauce to the mushrooms. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes.​

  3. Stir in the chopped parsley, season to taste with lemon juice and serve right away.
