Why Consider Serving A Sauce with Chicken en Croute?

A sauce is a vital component of chicken en croute.

Not only does it add flavor, but it also helps to keep the chicken moist.

Without a sauce, chicken en croute can be quite dry.

There are many different types of sauces that can be used with chicken en croute.

Some of the most popular include hollandaise, bearnaise, and mushroom sauce.

The type of sauce you choose should compliment the other ingredients in your dish.

For example, if you are using a strong cheese in your chicken en croute, you might want to consider a lighter sauce such as hollandaise or bearnaise.

Sauces can also be used to change the overall flavor of chicken en croute.

For example, if you want a more savory dish, you might want to consider using a mushroom sauce.

Sauces are an important part of any dish, but they are especially important in chicken en croute.

Without a sauce, the dish would be dry and bland.

With a sauce, you can add flavor and moisture to your dish.

1. Bernaise Sauce

This sauce is made with egg yolks, vinegar and lemon juice, herbs and butter.

It’s a little bit tangy, but also very creamy.

You can use it on almost anything, but it’s especially good on chicken or fish.

2. Blue Cheese Sauce

The best way to make this sauce is with crumbled blue cheese, butter and cream.

It’s kind of thick and rich because of the cream and blue cheese—it will have a consistency like sour cream sauce or ranch dressing if you let it sit for a while before serving.

This sauce goes perfectly with chicken or potatoes!

3. Brown Butter Sauce

This sauce is made by heating butter until it turns brown then adding lemon juice (or vinegar) along with salt and pepper—that’s it!

The browned butter gives the sauce a rich flavor that pairs beautifully with chicken en croute (and lots of other things too).

4. Buffalo Sauce

We think Buffalo sauce would be a great match for Chicken en Croute because of the spicy kick that both ingredients have.

The combination of the hot, tangy sauce and the creamy chicken inside the pastry would make for a truly delectable meal.

5. Chimichurri Sauce

The earthy flavor of chimichurri sauce is perfect for complementing the rich taste of chicken en croute.

The pesto-like herb sauce gives off a fresh aroma that pairs perfectly with the buttery pastry, while also adding an herbal note that pairs well with the creaminess of the chicken filling.

6. Cilantro Pesto Sauce

Cilantro pesto sauce is light and fresh, which makes it perfect for summertime eating—and it’s also very easy to make!

All you need are some cilantro, garlic, olive oil and Parmesan cheese (or another hard cheese) to make this delicious sauce yourself in about 10 minutes!

7. Creamy Dill Sauce

Creamy Dill Sauce has a milder taste than most other sauces, but it’s still spicy enough to make it interesting.

The dill flavor is what really sets this sauce apart from others, and it also gives your food a freshness that can be difficult to find in other sauces.

8. Creamy Red Pepper Sauce

If you’re looking for something more traditional, though, we’d recommend Creamy Red Pepper Sauce.

This sauce brings the heat and adds a nice sweetness to any dish it’s used on.

It’s especially good with seafood (See Also: 21 Best Herbs and Spices for Fish and Seafood) and chicken dishes like Chicken en Croute (3 in-depth explanations).

9. Enchilada Sauce

Enchilada sauce is an ideal match for chicken en croute because it has such interesting flavors that complement each other well—especially since they’re both rich sauces!

We recommend using this spicy tomato-based sauce as a dipping sauce for your chicken en croute bites (and maybe even for fries too).

10. Harissa Sauce

Harissa is a spicy, flavorful paste that originated in North Africa.

It’s made from red chiles and garlic, and it’s used to flavor many different types of dishes.

We love it because it has a lot of heat, but we also think it would go well with chicken en croute because the filling is already rich and creamy—it can handle the spice!

Plus, it’s super easy to make at home (just follow this recipe), so you can make your own sauce for your homemade chicken en croute.

And don’t forget to serve it with some pita bread!

11. Honey Mustard Sauce

Honey mustard sauce is another great option for serving with chicken en croute—it has a slight sweetness that pairs perfectly with the creaminess of the filling inside the pastry shell.

And, it’s easy to make at home, too!

1. Just mix together 1/2 cup mayo with 1/3 cup honey and 1 tbsp Dijon mustard until combined (you can add more honey or mustard until you reach desired taste).
2. Serve over sliced chicken breasts (See Also: What Sauce Goes Well with Chicken Breast) or inside your homemade chicken en croute if you’d like!

12. Sriracha Sauce

This Thai hot sauce is usually made with red chili peppers, garlic, vinegar, sugar or salt and other spices such as dried shrimp or lemongrass.

You can use it to add a spicy kick to your chicken en croute, but be careful—it can be very spicy!

13. BBQ Sauce

There are many different types of barbecue sauce out there, but our favorite is a sweet tomato-based one that has some spice from cayenne pepper added in as well.

It goes great when paired with chicken en croute because it adds both sweetness and heat without being overpowering for those who might not like their food too spicy!

14. Hot Sauce

Hot sauce is a spicy sauce made from spices like cayenne pepper that can be added to almost any food in order to add heat (it’s also called chili sauce if you’re looking for one).

Hot sauce is a great addition to your chicken en croute because it can add just enough spice without overwhelming other flavors in your dish!

15. Worcestershire Sauce

Worcestershire sauce is a tangy, salty condiment that goes well with chicken, as well as meat and fish.

It has a distinctive flavor from its blend of anchovies and tamarind, which gives it a rich taste that is hard to replicate with other ingredients.

Worcestershire sauce pairs perfectly with the sweetness of chicken en croute.

16. Tartar Sauce

Tartar sauce is a creamy sauce made from mayonnaise and seasonings such as capers and parsley.

It’s traditionally served with fried seafood dishes (See Also: What Salad Goes With Seafood? 15 Best Salads) like fish and chips (See Also: 15 Best Salads For Fish and Chips) or fried shrimp, but it also works well with chicken en croute because it complements the richness of the dish without overpowering the flavor of the chicken or cheese filling inside each layer of pastry dough.

17. Cheese Sauce

Cheese sauce is made by combining cheese (usually cheddar) with flour and milk or water until it forms an emulsion similar to gravy or custard—it’s super tasty!

Cheese sauces are often paired with pasta dishes like macaroni and cheese (See Also: What Meat Goes with Macaroni and Cheese?) because they complement each other so well—the creamy texture of cheese sauce matches perfectly against the soft, chewy texture of macaroni noodles.

18. White Sauce

It can be made with milk or cream, flour and butter.

It will thicken when it cooks and becomes smooth and creamy in texture.

The sauce has a mild flavor that goes well with chicken en croute.

19. Hollandaise Sauce

Hollandaise sauce is an emulsion of butter, egg yolks and lemon juice that has been whisked together until frothy.

It is used to top vegetables, fish and meat dishes such as chicken en croute.

The sauce is rich in taste and compliments the dish nicely by adding another layer of flavor to it.

20. Mornay Sauce

Mornay sauce is made by combining cheese (usually Gruyere) with cream, milk or stock until smooth before adding in egg yolk for extra richness and flavor depth.

It also makes a great topping for vegetables such as broccoli or cauliflower but also works well with chicken en croute too!
