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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor and color to your fricassee. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still moist. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of your fricassee, so it's important to use one that has a lot of flavor. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water, but chicken broth will give you the best flavor.
  • Season the fricassee to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. You can also add a bit of lemon juice or white wine for a brighter flavor.
  • Serve the fricassee with rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken fricassee is a classic French dish that is both delicious and easy to make. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it can also be made with fresh chicken breasts or thighs. With its creamy sauce and tender chicken, chicken fricassee is a surefire hit with the whole family.
