CHICKEN FRICASSEE (FRICASSEE DE POULET A L'ANCIENNE)



Chicken Fricassee (Fricassee de Poulet a L'Ancienne) image

Also see our step-by-step photo tutorial for making Chicken Fricassee. A fricassee is halfway between a saute and a stew. A true classic -- with as many variations as there are grandmothers in France -- it relies on humble ingredients and just a single pot. It's the original French comfort food: simmered chicken with hearty vegetables in a rich, silky sauce. And almost as satisfying as the dish itself is having our one-pot master recipe in your repertoire.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 whole chicken (3 1/2 to 4 pounds), cut into 11 pieces (reserve back and wing tips for another use, such as stock)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, divided
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice (1 cup)
1 carrot, cut into 1/4-inch dice (1/2 cup)
1 celery stalk, cut into 1/4-inch dice (1/3 cup)
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, trimmed and quartered
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2/3 cup dry white wine
4 cups chicken broth
2 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
2 large egg yolks, room temperature
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 to 3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh tarragon leaves
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Brown ChickenSeason chicken on both sides with 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Preheat a Dutch oven or other large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter and the oil to pot. When butter melts and foam subsides, add half the chicken, skin side down, in a single layer; do not crowd pot. (If butter begins to blacken, lower heat.) Fry chicken, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 10 minutes total, and transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.
  • Saute MirepoixReduce heat to medium, and add mirepoix (onion, carrot, and celery) to pot, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Saute mirepoix, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown in places, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Cook Mushrooms and FlourAdd mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms darken, become glossy, and begin to release liquid, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in flour, and cook until flour is absorbed by vegetables and is no longer visible, about 1 minute.
  • Pour in Wine and BrothAdd wine to pot, and bring to a boil, stirring until liquid just thickens, about 45 seconds. Add broth, and stir.
  • Simmer ChickenPlace chicken, skin side up, in a single layer on vegetables; pour juices that have accumulated on plate into pot. Tie parsley sprigs, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf together with kitchen twine; add to pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover partially. Cook until internal temperature of thickest part of chicken registers 165 degrees, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer chicken to a clean plate. Simmer liquid, uncovered, until reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Discard herbs.
  • Make and Add LiaisonTo make the liaison (sauce thickener), whisk together egg yolks and cream in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, pour 1/2 cup cooking liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time, into liaison to temper it. Stir tempered liaison into pot.
  • Finish with Tarragon, Lemon, and ButterReturn chicken to pot. Add tarragon, lemon juice, and the remaining butter. Bring to a simmer, stir gently to combine, and serve.

CHICKEN FRICASSéE (FRENCH CREAMY CHICKEN STEW)



Chicken Fricassée (French creamy chicken stew) image

Recipe video above. A traditional French dish, this is essentially a quick chicken stew with a creamy white mushroom sauce. It's a bit like a white sauce version of the famous French Coq au Vin - but it's much faster to make!This is a wonderful rustic family meal that's quick enough for midweek, or to elevate to restaurant level by using homemade chicken stock.

Provided by Nagi

Categories     Main     Main Course

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 chicken drumsticks ((~150g/5oz each, Note 1))
4 chicken thighs (, skin-on and bone-in (~250g/8oz each, Note 1))
1 tsp salt ((cooking / kosher salt))
1/2 tsp black pepper
4 tbsp / 60g unsalted butter
300g / 10oz white mushrooms (, halved if small, or cut in 4 to 6 if large)
2 medium brown onions (, sliced 0.6cm (1/2in) wide)
2 garlic cloves (, finely minced)
1 bay leaf (, fresh (sub dried))
3 thyme sprigs ((or 1/2 tsp dried thyme))
3 tbsp flour (, plain / all-purpose)
1/2 cup white wine (, preferably chardonnay (Note 2))
3 cups chicken stock (, low sodium (preferably homemade!))
1/4 tsp salt ((cooking / kosher salt))
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp parsley (, chopped)
2/3 cup thickened/heavy cream

Steps:

  • Season chicken: Pat chicken dry with paper towels then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Brown thighs: Melt butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet or heavy based pot with a lid. Add chicken thighs, skin side down, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown. Turn and cook the other side for 1 minute then remove to a plate.
  • Brown drumsticks: Then brown the drumsticks, as best you can. I do 3 sides, about 2 minutes each. Then remove from skillet.
  • Sauté mushrooms and onion: Add mushrooms, onion, bay leave and thyme. Cook for 5 minutes until mushroom is lightly golden - they won't go deep golden brown.
  • Garlic and flour: Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add flour and cook for 1 minute.
  • Wine and chicken stock: Add wine and chicken stock. Stir, scraping the base of the pot to dissolve the brown residue stuck to the pan ("fond") into the sauce.
  • Return chicken to sauce: Return chicken back into the sauce with the skin side up.
  • Simmer covered 10 minutes: Once it comes to a simmer, adjust heat so it's bubbling constantly but not rapidly (see video) - medium-low on my stove. Cover with lid and simmer 10 minutes.
  • Uncover 20 minutes: Remove lid and let it simmer for a further 20 minutes. Chicken will be cooked - internal temperature 75°C/167°F or slightly higher.
  • Creamy sauce: Remove chicken to a plate. Add cream and stir. Once it comes up to a simmer, taste sauce (I know, big ask!), and add more salt if desired..
  • Serve! Return chicken into the sauce then remove from the stove. Sprinkle with parsley and serve! Traditionally served over mashed potato or rice. Also ideal with short pasta like penne, ziti or macaroni.

Provided by Cheryl

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds chicken pieces, bone-in, skin-on Note 1
2 tablespoons flour coating (2 Tbsp flour + 1/2 tsp each salt, black pepper, 1/4 tsp garlic powder)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup (52 grams) chopped onion (1 medium onion)
1 1/2 cups (225 grams) chopped carrots (2-3 carrots)
8 ounces (228 grams) button mushrooms
2 cups (60 grams) baby spinach, roughly chopped ((optional))
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/2 cup (118 ml) white wine, Note 3
1 1/2 cups (355 ml) chicken stock or broth
2 tablepoons fresh herbs, Note 4 ((or 2 teaspoons dried herbs))
1/3 cup (79 ml) heavy cream or light, Note 5 (10% (half and half) or 35% (heavy whipping cream))

Steps:

  • HEAT OVEN to 375F/190C.
  • SEASON CHICKEN: Place flour coating (flour + seasonings) in bag. Pat chicken dry and add it to bag. Shake to coat evenly. If bag is small, do a few pieces at a time. Alternatively, dip pieces of chicken in flour coating on plate and shake off. You just want a very light coating.
  • SAUTÉ CHICKEN: Heat oil in large oven proof skillet to medium-high heat (7/10). Sauté chicken until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. It won't be cooked through. Remove to plate lined with a paper towel. Keep 2 tablespoons of grease/fat in skillet and discard the rest. If not enough grease, add butter or oil.
  • SAUTÉ VEGETABLES: Lower heat to medium heat. Add all chopped vegetables (not including spinach) and sauté until almost tender, about 5-6 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • MAKE SAUCE: Add flour and stir constantly for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits at the bottom of the pan. Add wine to the flour mixture and cook for 1 minute until almost evaporated, then add broth and herbs and stir until sauce is slightly thickened into a creamy white or light brown sauce. It will thicken more when baked with chicken.
  • BAKE: Return chicken to skillet skin side up. Place skillet in oven, uncovered. Bake for 30-40 minutes, depending on thickness of chicken (if using boneless chicken, time will be cut in half or more). Chicken should be cooked to 160F/71C measured with an instant read thermometer. It will rise a few more degrees when finishing.
  • FINISH AND SERVE: Remove skillet from oven and place on stove. Transfer chicken to plate and add cream to make a creamy sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt or thyme for example. Stir in chopped spinach if using until wilted (1 minute). Return chicken to skillet. Spoon sauce onto pieces and serve immediately.

  • Add vegetables: Vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions are classic additions to a fricassée. They will add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Simmer gently: Fricassée is a slow-cooked dish, so be sure to simmer it gently over low heat. This will help to tenderize the chicken and allow the flavors to meld together.
