You could make this ahead and gently rewarm it to serve without losing much of its deliciousness. It goes well with with brown rice or a wild rice blend. Go light with the entree (tossed salads are an eternal favorite in France too), and serve something with fruit for dessert. There are many recipes for crème fraîche at Recipe Zaar. Notice that it has tarragon-I love tarragon! I have increased the liquid after looking at Chef#286566 helpful review.

This chicken fricassee is a great way to warm up on a cold day. The chicken is cooked in a creamy sauce with vegetables and herbs, and it's served over rice or noodles.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some roasted chicken I had in the fridge and it was delicious. The sauce is creamy and flavorful and the chicken is tender and moist.
