If you love steak au poivre, you’re going to want to try this Chicken Au Poivre! 🤎
This dish has been popping up all over TikTok, and I knew I had to give it my own little twist using chicken drumsticks. The chicken bakes right in that creamy, peppery sauce until it’s tender, juicy, and packed with flavour.
And let me tell you… served over a big scoop of creamy mashed potatoes? SO good. 😋
It’s cozy, comforting, and honestly much easier than it sounds!
🍗 CHICKEN AU POIVRE
Ingredients:
* Chicken drumsticks
* Salt & pepper, to season chicken
* 2 tbsp crushed peppercorns
* ½ medium onion, finely chopped
* 1 tsp salt
* 1 tsp rosemary
* 1 tsp garlic
* 1½ cups cream
* Cooking spray
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and arrange your chicken drumsticks inside. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel, then season generously with salt and pepper.
Bake uncovered at 375°F for about 15 minutes, just until the chicken starts to brown.
While the chicken is baking, mix together the crushed peppercorns, onion, salt, rosemary, garlic, and cream.
Pour the creamy peppercorn sauce all over the chicken.
Increase the oven temperature to 400°F and continue baking for approximately 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and beautifully coated in that creamy sauce.
While it bakes, baste the chicken with the sauce at least twice. This helps get all that delicious peppery cream sauce right over the chicken.
I served mine over mashed potatoes, which was absolutely perfect for soaking up all that sauce. 🤤
It’s nothing fancy, just good, cozy food. ❤️
