Classic Chicken Chasseur delivers a familiar, comforting flavour profile that performs reliably in a butcher’s counter. It is designed to be prepared raw and sold as a premium, ready-to-cook meal option. As a result, it fits perfectly into an oven-ready or sous-vide style range.

At the core of the recipe sits Verstegen Chasseur Sauce. This sauce brings a rich tomato base with balanced savoury notes and gentle sweetness. It coats the chicken evenly, so every portion delivers consistent flavour. In addition, the sauce works exceptionally well with boneless chicken thighs, a cut known for its juiciness, yield, and customer appeal.

To enhance structure and eating quality, the recipe uses Verstegen Binding DS alongside Verstegen Sous-Vide Mix Brown. Together, they help the sauce cling to the meat and vegetables. They also improve mouthfeel and deliver a deeper, more appetising colour once cooked. As a result, the finished dish looks glossy, rich, and professionally prepared.

Furthermore, the addition of onions, mushrooms, and diced carrot builds a true chasseur-style profile. These vegetables add sweetness, texture, and visual contrast. They also create a complete meal feel, which increases perceived value at the counter.

The vacuum-cooked format supports efficient batch production and strong portion control. It also gives butchers confidence in consistency and shelf performance. For the end consumer, the product offers simple finishing at home by sous-vide, steaming, or slow cooking. Therefore, it suits both midweek meals and weekend comfort dishes.

Overall, Classic Chicken Chasseur combines trusted Verstegen ingredients with dependable results. It delivers a classic flavour customers recognise while giving butchers a reliable, high-quality value-added product that sells with confidence.
