Quarter the chicken, and lightly brown them in half the butter in a stewing pan for about 5 minutes, then season. Put in the shallots, parsley and garlic, finely chopped. Continue to cook on a low heat.

Flambé the meat with the Cognac, and then pour in the Riesling and the stock. Simmer on a low heat for thirty minutes.

Chop the mushrooms and fry them lightly in the remaining butter. Then add them to the pot. A few minutes before the end of the cooking time, blend the flour, cream and egg-yolk. Pour this sauce over the meat without cooking further, and season to taste.
