Madame

A madame recipe is a classic French dish that is made with chicken, ham, and cheese. The dish is named after Madame de Pompadour, who was the mistress of King Louis XV of France. The dish was first mentioned in a cookbook in 1755, and it became popular in the 18th century. Madame recipes were often served at royal parties and banquets.

The dish is made by wrapping a chicken breast in ham and cheese, and then baking it. The cheese helps to keep the chicken moist, and the ham adds flavor. Madame recipes can be served with a variety of sauces, but the most popular is a white wine sauce.

Madame recipes are still popular in France, and they are often served at special occasions. If you want to try a classic French dish, then you should definitely make a madame recipe.
