Raise the [suprêmes], suppress the bones of the breast and garnish the cavity with a cold chicken [mousse], combined with a quarter of its volume of foie-gras purée, shaping the latter in such wise as to reconstruct the bird.

Cut the [suprêmes] into thin, long slices; coat them with white chaud-froid sauce, and place them on the [mousse], pressing them lightly one upon the other. Deck with pieces of truffle; glaze with chicken jelly; set in a square, entrée dish, and surround with melted jelly.

Set the pullet on a cushion of rice, lying on a long dish. Behind the bird, arrange a fine, vegetable salad in a shell of carved rice, or in a large, silver shell.
