Chicken fricassee in creamy sauce

The word "fricassee" comes from the French verb "to fry, to stew". This is a traditional dish of French cuisine, which is a stew of white meat in a white sauce. Until recently, this dish was prepared only by poor peasants. But one day, a chef decided to serve it to Napoleon, who could not stand the smell of chicken. The court chef hoped to overshadow the smell of the bird with mushrooms and cream. And he was right - the emperor was delighted, and the dish became popular throughout the world.

How to cook Chicken fricassee in creamy sauce

Step 1

Chicken fricassee in creamy sauce

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the onion until golden brown. In another frying pan, fry the chicken fillet with butter, salt and pepper. Transfer the onion to the chicken, stir and continue frying. Add the cream and cover the fricassee with a lid, continuing to simmer at minimum heat for 10 minutes. 1 minute before it is ready, pour flour into the frying pan and stir well. The flour will thicken the sauce.

Chicken fricassee in creamy sauce - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use half-and-half, coconut milk, or Greek yogurt thinned with a bit of milk for a lighter option, though the sauce may be slightly less rich.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Reheat gently on the stovetop to maintain the sauce’s creamy texture.
Absolutely! Swap the chicken for mushrooms, cauliflower, or tofu, and use vegetable broth or a plant-based cream alternative for a delicious vegetarian version.
Cornstarch or arrowroot powder (mixed with water to form a slurry) can be used as gluten-free thickeners. Simmer until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
Yes, but the creamy sauce may separate slightly upon thawing. Freeze in airtight containers for up to 2 months, then reheat slowly on the stove, stirring well.
Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce. Steamed veggies or a crisp salad add freshness to the meal.
Yes, thighs work well and add more flavor. Adjust cooking time slightly as thighs may take a few extra minutes to cook through.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper, red chili flakes, or diced jalapeños when cooking the onions for a flavorful kick.
Reheat on low heat in a covered saucepan with a splash of broth or cream, stirring occasionally to keep the sauce smooth.
