Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your dish.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the chicken will not brown properly.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make sure the sauce is thickened before serving. You can do this by adding a cornstarch slurry or by reducing the sauce over low heat.
- Serve the chicken fricassee with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
