Originally from Dijon, the Gaston Gérard chicken pays homage to one of the former mayors of the capital of the Dukes of Burgundy. Created in 1930, following a cooking accident caused by the wife of the mayor at the time. She, in fact, spilled a pot of paprika into the dish she was preparing for their guest, Maurice Edmond Saillant, a humorist and famous French culinary critic of the 20th century. To soften the overly spicy taste of its preparation, Reine-Geneviève Bourgogne decided to add cream, white wine and grated Comté. Today, this dish is one of the prides of Burgundian cuisine!
