Chicken fricassee is a classic French dish that is made with chicken, vegetables, and a creamy sauce. It is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a winter meal. There are many different variations of chicken fricassee, but the basic ingredients are always the same. The chicken is usually cut into small pieces and then browned in butter or oil. The vegetables are typically carrots, celery, and onions, but you can also add other vegetables such as potatoes, parsnips, or turnips.

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.

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 FRICASEE (FRICASE DE POLLO)



Chicken Fricasee (Fricase de Pollo) image

When my grandmother made this comfort chicken dish even our neighbors would make an excuse to come by. The aroma of Chicken Fricasee was intoxicating. Fragrant chicken and potaotes in a sauce dimpled with olives, capers and raisens, covered in a sauce to die for. Be sure to have enough crusty bread to sop up the sauce. This dish...

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 22

6 to 8 large chicken pieces
6 medium red potatoes peeled and cut into quarters
1 large vidalia or white onion diced
4 clove fresh garlic smashed or put through garlic press
1 large sweet green pepper diced
1 small can tomato sauce
1/2 c good red table wine similar to merlot and a little more if needed
1/4 c black raisens
2 Tbsp diced fresh cilantro
3 Tbsp capers
15 small stuffed green olives with red pimentos
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar or wine vinegar
1 small packet goya sazon seasoning with achiote and culantro
3/4 c olive oil, light
1 tsp garlic powder,
2 Tbsp salt or sea salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp cumin powder
2 tsp adobo powder goya brand or similar
1 tsp spanish or good hungarian paprika
1 c water

Steps:

  • 1. In a blender pour 1/4 cup wine 2 cloves garlic 1 tsp salt blend pour the marinade over your seasoned chicken. Chicken pieces should have been seasoned prior liberly with the adobo powder, salt, black pepper, paprika. Regrigerate in a freezer bag for at least two hours or better overnight. Mush bag and turn over a few times so this marinade can well penetrate the chicken.
  • 2. Choose a heavy large pot that has a good lid. Take out chicken and let come to room temperature. Heat 1/2 cup oil and begin to brown your chicken pieces on all sides. I like to leave the skin on The chicken it imparts a great flavor to your poultry dishes. You may remove skin later and discard if you like. Chicken does not need to cook throughly just brown on the outside. This should take about 10/12 minutes. When done browning remove to a seperate pan. Do not put on paper towels.
  • 3. Over a medium flame in the same pot add the remaining 1/4 cup oil and add all the diced vegetables, onion, remaining garlic, green pepper, cilantro and saute until onion and pepper are somewhat limp. Next add olives, raisens, capers, remaining wine, and vinegar. Stir well and continue to saute for about 1/2 minute. next add tomato sauce, and dry seasonings, garlic powder, oregano, salt, black pepper, cumin powder, adobo, packet of Sazon seasoning and paprika. Stir well and add the cup of water. Stir again and adjust salt & pepper to your liking. Cover this sauce and reduce heat to a very low simmer. while sauce simmers peel and quarter potaotes.
  • 4. After simmering your sauce for 5 minutes, add your chicken pieces one at a time taking care to cover each piece with the sauce. Next add your potaotes and stir again spooning the sauce over all the potatoes If you like you may sprinkle a little more wine over the mixture about a 1/4 cup. I do this some times to add extra flavor. Cover and on a medium low flame cook for about 1 hour. After 30 minutes of cooking uncover and check to see if your fricasee has not begin to dry out also test your potaoes they are done when fork penetrates them easly. At this time you may adjust your heat to a little higher if need be. If you like you may add a little more water 1/4 cup and stir very gently. Cover and continue to cook until done. Traditionaly served on top of white rice you may do so or serve with crusty bread and a salad. Enjoy.

FRICASé DE POLLO



Fricasé de Pollo image

The chicken and potatoes in this Cuban stew become fall-apart tender from simmering in a tomato sauce studded with salty, briny green olives. Some versions of this dish call for marinating the chicken in the juice of naranja agria or sour oranges before cooking. In my take, I add orange and lime juices right into the sauce to cut back on time and to flavor the tomato broth.

Provided by Gabriela Rodiles

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and drumsticks, patted completely dry
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium yellow onion, medium diced
1 green bell pepper, medium diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 packet (1 1/2 teaspoons) Sazón seasoning mix with saffron
1/4 cup vino seco (see Cook's Note) or sherry cooking wine
One 8-ounce can tomato sauce
2 limes, juiced (about 1/4 cup)
1 navel orange, juiced (about 1/4 cup)
1/3 cup pimiento-stuffed olives
2 large russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 bay leaf
Cooked white rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium heavy bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chicken on both sides with 2 teaspoons salt and a few cracks of pepper. Add the chicken skin-side down and cook in two batches until golden brown and crispy and the skin releases easily from the skillet, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip the chicken over and cook 3 minutes. Remove to a plate, leaving the fat in the pot.
  • Add the onion, bell pepper, 1 teaspoon salt and a few cracks of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden, until the onions soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and Sazón seasoning and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the vino seco and scrape up any browned bits with the wooden spoon to deglaze the pot.
  • Stir in the tomato sauce, lime and orange juices, olives, potatoes and bay leaf. Nestle the chicken in the liquid and bring to a boil, 1 to 2 minutes. Cover the pan and simmer over low heat until the chicken is almost covered with the liquid, 15 minutes. Stir, pushing the chicken further into the liquid and simmer another 15 minutes. Remove the lid and cook uncovered until the liquid has reduced slightly and the potatoes are fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Discard the bay leaf and serve over white rice if desired.

POLLO EN FRICASé



Pollo en Fricasé image

The ultimate comfort food, this dish bears the mark of Spanish and French colonial influence, but takes a decidedly Puerto Rican approach. Bone-in chicken thighs are braised to perfection in a rich, oniony, tomato-based sauce with a lot of garlic, balanced with white wine and vinegar, and punctuated by briny olives and capers. Potatoes are added toward the end, for a satisfying meal. Like so many Puerto Rican dishes, this one is highly adaptable. Some brown the chicken first, adding sofrito and other aromatics later. Folks often add carrots, or use beer or red wine instead of white. My take is pared down and incredibly simple, making it an easy weeknight meal that can be prepared while you're getting your house in order after work. This recipe is adapted from "Cocina Criolla," which has remained the island's best-known and most popular cookbook for more than 60 years.

Categories     poultry, soups and stews, main course

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 to 3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, skins removed
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
10 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
3 dried bay leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup pimento-stuffed olives
1 tablespoon capers, drained
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
Cooked white rice, for serving
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry, then place in a lidded, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven.
  • In a medium bowl, combine tomato sauce, onion, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, paprika, cumin, bay leaves, salt and pepper; whisk together with a fork. Pour sauce over chicken.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low, cover and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour in white wine, then add olives, capers and potato slices, stirring well to incorporate. Bring back to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, until potatoes are tender but not falling apart. If your sauce is thinner than you'd like, transfer chicken and potatoes to a serving bowl, then simmer sauce for 5 to 7 more minutes over medium-high until thickened.
  • Serve over white rice with plenty of sauce, and garnish with cilantro.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chicken: Opt for organic, free-range chicken for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help distribute heat evenly and prevent burning.
  • Brown the chicken well: This will give the fricasee a rich, golden color and enhance its flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: Cook the chicken in batches if necessary to prevent steaming.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish.
  • Season well: Use a combination of fresh herbs, spices, and citrus to create a flavorful fricasee.
  • Simmer gently: Bring the fricasee to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve over rice or mashed potatoes: This will help soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken fricassee is a classic dish that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients, making it a great option for weeknight meals or special occasions. With its creamy sauce, tender chicken, and flavorful vegetables, chicken fricassee is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
