Chicken Fricassee, Chicken Fricassee
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This chicken fricassee recipe is my own one, based on one of my favourite dishes that my mum would cook for me growing up...and she still does now and again!

If you've already got some cooked chicken, then it's a pretty quick dish to prepare and cook - it's ready in under 30 minutes.   A great dish to serve any night of the week.   If you need to cook some chicken, see Tips for poaching it in stock.

It's a very comforting dish that's delicious served with cooked rice, pasta or a baked potato, and leftovers are easily frozen.

You'd think there was cream in the sauce, but there isn't...make a roux and then add stock and milk.   The end result is a lovely sauce that is full of chicken flavour, with tender pieces of chicken and vegetables...a very comforting dish!

Tips

  • Cooked chicken and stock – if you don’t already have leftover cooked chicken, I like to poach chicken breasts in the stock I’m going to use for the recipe:
    • season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper then put them in a medium saucepan on a high heat along with the chicken stock cube or pot you’re going to use for making the stock. Pour in 500ml of cold water, and when the water begins to boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cook the chicken for 14 minutes (turning once, halfway through cooking).   Remove the chicken and set it aside to cool on a plate before shredding.   Transfer the stock to a jug for using at step 2.   The chicken can easily be poached the day before or earlier in the day and kept in the fridge in an airtight container until you’re ready to use it.
  • Add pieces of chopped ham if you like, and just reduce the amount of chicken used, to make chicken and ham fricassee.
  • Feel free to change the vegetables - asparagus, broccoli, green beans and courgette all work well.
  • Freezable – leftovers can easily be frozen in an airtight container. When ready to use, defrost thoroughly and either reheat in the microwave or on the hob.
  • This recipe for chicken fricassee is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Stir in the flour as soon as the butter has melted. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  2. Slowly pour the hot stock and then the milk into the pan, just a little at a time, stirring well until the sauce is smooth and thickened slightly. Add the shredded cooked chicken and vegetables, then increase the heat until the sauce starts to bubble.  Reduce to a simmer, cover with a lid and cook for 10 to 15 minutes until the carrots are tender, but not too soft. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.  Garnish with the chopped parsley, if you like.   Serve with your choice of rice, pasta or baked potatoes.
