Chicken Stew
Chicken Fricassee is a classic French dish that combines tender chicken with a rich, creamy sauce, making it both comforting and elegant. To prepare this quick version, start by seasoning chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then sear them in butter until golden brown. Remove the chicken and in the same pan sauté onions, garlic, carrots, and mushrooms for flavor. Next, sprinkle a little flour to create a light roux, then pour in chicken broth and a splash of white wine to deglaze the pan.
Return the chicken, cover, and simmer until cooked through and tender. To finish, stir in cream and fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for a silky, flavorful sauce. This stew pairs beautifully with rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread. Chicken Fricassee is the perfect balance of homestyle comfort and French sophistication, ready to serve as a hearty dinner any night of the week.
