Chef Patrick's Comment

A proper Norman recipe, personally I brown the poultry pieces in white, then I add the sliced shallots with a little lemon thyme, I salt and pepper then I flambé with calvados, I add the cider, I let it reduce by half and finally I add my liquid cream, gentle cooking for 20 minutes, then we remove the poultry pieces and pour the sauce over them and I serve with small molds with sautéed apple fruits at the bottom and filled with creamed round rice, you can also
