I am so excited to have my friend Ginger from Gingerly Made sharing a fabulous and simple recipe simple for Chicken Fricassee today. This is an easy one pot recipe and perfect for a busy weeknight dinner!
Do you have a favorite recipe that you found on Pinterest? Have you cooked it and changed it enough that it’s developed into your own? I sure do!
This chicken fricassee has quickly become one of my husband’s favorites; and mine too! I LOVE this one-pot dinner! It’s not a quick meal to make because it’s all from scratch and being a soup/stew type dish needs some time to let all the flavors cook in, BUT it is so worth it and we put it into our regular monthly menu rotation. The chicken is full of savory flavor and the vegetables make it very hearty and filling.
But before I get into it, let me introduce myself… Hey There!
I’m Ginger from Gingerly Made and I’m so excited to be here sharing a family favorite recipe with you today! You may have already seen my face on 3 Little Greenwoods before. Ashley and I are both co-hosts for the weekly Show Me Saturday link party. She and I have quickly become blogging buddies and email each other often with questions and support. I’m so glad to know her! So, thanks Ash for letting me post here today!
Alright, back to the chicken. Hubs and I have nicknamed our Chicken Fricassee “Frickin’ Chicken”… because it’s frickin’ good.
You can totally make this recipe your own. Don’t like mushrooms? Take them out. Add fingerling potatoes instead or celery. This meal is totally customizable! And another bonus – if you are trying to watch your salt intake, there isn’t one speck of salt added to this recipe. It doesn’t need it! I add salt to everything, but not this one. The vegetables, broth, and herbs pack plenty of flavor!
Chicken Fricassee Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken cut up into parts, skin still on
- 2 carrots diced
- 1 stalk celery diced
- 1 onion diced
- 1 lb mushrooms sliced
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1/2 cup white cooking wine
- 4 cups chxn broth
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 2-3 sprigs parsley
- 1 tsp thyme
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Melt 2 tbsp butter in dutch oven. Brown the chicken skin side down. Do not crowd the pot. If you have to cook half the chicken at a time, so be it. It’s better to do that than crowd the pot. Flip and brown the other side. (The chicken will not be cooked through yet. It’s ok. We’ll finish cooking it in a bit)
- When your chicken is browned on both sides, remove from pot and set aside.
- Add 1 tbsp butter to pan along with onion, carrot, celery. Scrape up brown bits with a wooden spoon and cook veggies until soft.
- Add mushrooms. When they begin to sweat add 2 tbsp flour. Stir in the flour let soak up the juices.
- When the flour has been incorporated into the veggies,add 1/2 cup white wine again letting the wine soak into your veggies. It only takes a minute or two.
- Then pour in the 4 cups of chicken broth and add your chicken back into the pot. Add herbs.
- Bring to boil and simmer for about 30 minutes.
- While the fricassee is simmering, in a small bowl to the side mix egg yolks, cream, & lemon juice. This will be your thickener. Temper the mixture by adding about 1/2 a cup – 1 cup of broth a little bit at a time. You don’t want the cream to curdle!
- Now add the mixture into the pot. Allow 5 minutes to thicken. Remove the herbs floating in the sauce and throw away.
- Toss in some spinach for a touch of green. As soon as the spinach has wilted, serve with some warm bread.
