A great weekend dish or a main dish for Christmas: Chicken Roulade! This creamy white wine sauce with mushrooms pairs perfect with it. You can serve it with homemade fries and mixed greens for a more homey dish. However, celebrating something? Cut the roulade in thicker slices and serve with pumpkin or celeriac puree and the sauce.
This dish is made with local chickens, ‘de Zeeuwse Kip‘, which are kept on an energy-neutral farm in ‘Zeeland’. This province is known for its seafood and beaches, but has some great chicken and venison too.
Recently the farmers also started to produce wine. The white wine is slightly acidic, smells fruity and has a hint of almond. Therefore it pairs perfectly in this creamy sauce! Moreover to me this gives a very fulfilling feeling: combining the wine and chicken from the same yard in one dish 🙂
