Delicious and Quick Chicken Fricasee image

The delicious silky sauce and abundance of mushrooms makes a special weekday meal for my family. Based on a recipe by American Test Kitchen, altered to fit my family size and to cut a bit more fat. The lemon, nutmeg and egg yolk(!) add so much to this recipe. I served it with zucchini, carrots, and couscous as sides but plan to serve it with peas and a different grain next time.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 lbs chicken, boneless and skinless (breasts or thighs)
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb cremini mushroom, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon flour
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1/3 cup fat free sour cream
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons fresh tarragon or 2 teaspoons parsley, minced

Steps:

  • Heat butter and oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook chicken until browned, about 4 minutes, then flip and cook until browned on second side, 4 more minutes. Transfer to large plate.
  • Cook mushrooms, onion, and wine in skillet, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated and mushrooms are browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add flour and garlic, and stir constantly for 1 minute. Add broth and bring mixture to boil, scraping bottom of pan with wooden spoon to loosen browned bits.
  • Add chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 5-10 minutes, until instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees in breasts and 175 degrees in thighs.
  • Transfer chicken to clean platter and cover loosely with inverted pie pan.
  • Whisk sour cream and egg yolk in medium bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly stir ½ cup sauce into sour cream mixture. Stirring constantly, slowly pour sour cream mixture into simmering sauce. Stir in nutmeg, lemon juice, and tarragon; return to simmer. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Pour sauce over chicken and serve.

This chicken fricassee is a good basic recipe. It's easy to follow and the results are decent. However, I think it could be improved with some additional seasoning and maybe a different cooking method.

Overall, I thought this chicken fricassee was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I found the chicken in this fricassee to be a bit dry. I think it could have been cooked for a shorter amount of time.

The sauce in this chicken fricassee was a bit too thick for my liking. I would have preferred a thinner, more flavorful sauce.

This chicken fricassee was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.
