Poulet sauté Bercy | ‘Chicken Bercy’ — A French Bistro Classic

June 14, 2026 | 🇫🇷 Poulet sauté Bercy is a forgotten Parisian classic. It is named after the historic wine markets of the Bercy quarter in Paris.

This dish is pure French elegance in one pan. Crispy golden chicken in a silky white wine and shallot sauce, finished with butter and parsley — nothing more, nothing less.

This is the recipe Auguste Escoffier codified in Le Guide Culinaire (1903), and it remains one of the most underrated classics in all of French cuisine.
