He didn't claim to, and I bet the originator of the recipe may not either. Doesn't make the recipe bad.

And I bet his pappy didn't sink two boats and three washing machines in Bayou Lafourche ...in his front damn yard...how about yours, baw?

A trip to the University Club was always a rare experience of grace, sophistication and really good food. This recipe comes courtesy of the Chef at the University Club.



Shame it closed, the food service and view were all excellent. The Camelot Club in Bator Rouge is an affiliate and very nice as well if you ever get the chance, the view over the river is probably the best in town.

Thanks for the recipe, I had completely forgotten about that dish and it was excellent.

there any trick you use to keep the chicken from coming apart after rolling it up with the stuffing?


I am sure you can use toothpicks. I roll them carefully and make certain I dust the seam well. Then I cook that side first. I don't turn them until they are well browned and they seem to seal without any problems.

Yes you could lock the chicken together with a toothpick.

I love oysters. Celebrating them at the peak of their season (from a flavor perspective) is important to me...

I didn't name the dish TT.

Maybe John Folse did. He has a similar recipe

My experience with Bayous is Beasley Bayou, which runs about seven miles from Isola, MS to the Sunflower River. My grandparents raised my mother, six sisters and two brothers on a cotton farm on Beasley Bayou, about two miles from the Sunflower River. I never heard my PaPa call it anything other than the Sunflower Bayou. Maybe he didn't like Mr. Beasley, whoever he was.
I spent a lot of my childhood watching Water Moccasins swimming in Beasley Bayou.

I have driven Bayou Lafourche most of the length. It is a bigger piece of water than Beasley Bayou.

Someone must have liked Bayou Lafourche a lot to name this dish after the waterway. Maybe my Grandma should have named her fried pork chops, crowder peas and cornbread supper after Beasley Bayou.

My down da baya self thinks it's a tasty sounding blast from the past recipe. The whole thing screams 1983-85 to me....adouille tarragon cream, etc. it's a very mid period Prudhomme style recipe.

I just got back from buying the ingredients I didn't have around the house. I'm going to increase the amount of sauce by about 1/2 and serve this over some angel hair pasta with some asparagus

It is an Anise and Herb flavored Liquor. Some recipes call for Herbsaint, which is also Anise flavored. You could probably use Anise flavoring from the spice isle in your grocer.

The New Orleans Cocktail, Sazerac uses Pernod or Herbsaint. This recipe uses so little Pernod you could go to a bar and order a shot, then pour it into a medicine bottle and walk away. That much would make the dish several times.

The liquorice flavor of the Pernod is a part of the taste of this dish.

I make an Italian stuffed chicken pretty often. I think I will tweak it to add your filling and sauce instead.

That looks great.

There is a Bayou Lafourche recipe in Prudhomme's book. I've never made it though because it looks like so much work, and this post confirms my suspicions.

Looks great though!
