fricassee
Sauced meat dish
Fricassee is a dish of meat—usually chicken or veal—cut into pieces, braised in stock, and served in a white sauce.
The technique involves browning the meat lightly before stewing it with vegetables and finishing with cream or egg yolks: a chicken fricassee with mushrooms and pearl onions.
The verb means to prepare meat this way.
