some sort of creamy sauce to go with roast chicken??

[lucysmam]

maybe?

with garlic & rosemary roast spuds & some kind of veggies, although notsure what they'll be yet

or would it be yucky?

I was thinking about doing it instead of gravy with this weeks roast dinner for something different to try

Has anyone got any suggestions? Or would I be better sticking to the gravy?

I think creamy mushroom sauce goes well with chicken ( not sure if it would go with the garlic and rosemary though)

Why not make an onion gravy?

leek creamy sauce with parsley and thyme is delicious

creamed leeks YUM and dead easy

absolutely nailpolish

Why not do gravy and bread sauce (goes very well with chicken).

Stick to gravy and do a nice bread sauce too

Are you me, coldtits? - we both posted the same suggestion at exactly the same time!

Def bread sauce - well flavoured with onion and clove. Delia's receipe (I am sure it will be on net somewhere) is good.

wow! I'd forgotten about having posted this this morning since I started painting!

What's bread sauce like? I'll have a google for Delias recipe this evening. Cheers ladies

Nigel Slaters creamy mustard sauce is yum - creme fraiche - grainy mustard (to taste) and if you have them some of those bottled green peppercorns and parsley.

Also gary rhodes does a nice taragon sauce which is lovely with chicken - saute 2 chopped shallots in butter add 225ml of white wine and chopped tarragon - boil til wine reduced by half add 350ml chicken stock reduce by half again. Stir in 4tbsp creme fraiche and bit more chopped tarragon - yum.

jumpy, that gary rhodes one sounds delish. I'm torn now as to what to do. God job I have until Sunday to decide!

Bread sauce is lovely. You infuse some milk with onion/cloves/pepercorns/bayleaf, then strain it, add white breadcrumbs, and heat until thickened, adding cream and butter if you want.

ITA with the bread sauce suggestions...Ooooh I love bread sauce.
