chicken fricassee

Creamy braised fowl

Chicken fricassee is a dish of chicken pieces braised in a white sauce, typically made with butter, flour, stock, and often enriched with cream.

The chicken is usually browned lightly before being simmered with aromatics like onions and herbs.

Unlike a brown stew, fricassee keeps its pale color: Grandmother's chicken fricassee was comfort food at its finest.
