Chicken And Carrot Fricassee Recipes

CHICKEN FRICASSEE | ONE OF THE BEST EASY CHICKEN RECIPES FOR DINNER

Steps:

• Chop the onion, carrot, and celery, and then mince the garlic cloves and slice the cremini mushrooms.
• Next, put a deep pan over medium heat on the stovetop. Cover the surface of the pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Then, season your chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
• Brown the chicken pieces in the pan until both sides are golden - this will take about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside for later.
• In the same pan, sauté the onions, carrots, celery, and minced garlic in the oil and rendered chicken fat for 5-7 minutes.
• Next, add the sliced cremini mushrooms and thyme, then cook for another 2 minutes. Then add the flour and stir until it's thoroughly incorporated with the veggies.
• Lastly, add the 1/2 cup of white wine, scraping up any of the brown bits that might have stuck to the bottom of the pan. Let everything simmer for 3 minutes.
• Pour the chicken stock and heavy cream into the pan, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Return the chicken to the pan and simmer in the sauce until the chicken is completely cooked through and the sauce is rich and velvety. This will take about 15 minutes.
• To finish up, transfer the pieces of chicken to plates, pour some sauce on top, and sprinkle on some fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!

CHICKEN FRICASSéE (FRENCH CREAMY CHICKEN STEW)

Steps:

• Season chicken: Pat chicken dry with paper towels then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Brown thighs: Melt butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet or heavy based pot with a lid. Add chicken thighs, skin side down, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown. Turn and cook the other side for 1 minute then remove to a plate.
• Brown drumsticks: Then brown the drumsticks, as best you can. I do 3 sides, about 2 minutes each. Then remove from skillet.
• Sauté mushrooms and onion: Add mushrooms, onion, bay leave and thyme. Cook for 5 minutes until mushroom is lightly golden - they won't go deep golden brown.
• Garlic and flour: Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Add flour and cook for 1 minute.
• Wine and chicken stock: Add wine and chicken stock. Stir, scraping the base of the pot to dissolve the brown residue stuck to the pan ("fond") into the sauce.
• Return chicken to sauce: Return chicken back into the sauce with the skin side up.
• Simmer covered 10 minutes: Once it comes to a simmer, adjust heat so it's bubbling constantly but not rapidly (see video) - medium-low on my stove. Cover with lid and simmer 10 minutes.
• Uncover 20 minutes: Remove lid and let it simmer for a further 20 minutes. Chicken will be cooked - internal temperature 75°C/167°F or slightly higher.
• Creamy sauce: Remove chicken to a plate. Add cream and stir. Once it comes up to a simmer, taste sauce (I know, big ask!), and add more salt if desired..
• Serve! Return chicken into the sauce then remove from the stove. Sprinkle with parsley and serve! Traditionally served over mashed potato or rice. Also ideal with short pasta like penne, ziti or macaroni.

CHICKEN FRICASSéE WITH CARROTS, MUSTARD GREENS AND AVGOLEMONO SAUCE

Steps:

• Make chicken:
• Mix 1/4 cup lemon juice, 2 tablespoons parsley, lemon peel and minced garlic in large glass baking dish. Whisk in 6 tablespoons oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add chicken. Turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate chicken overnight, turning once.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Remove chicken from marinade. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Working in batches, cook chicken until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to large bowl.
• Add carrots, sliced garlic and oregano to pot. Sauté over medium-high heat until garlic is tender, about 2 minutes. Add wine and remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice. Bring to boil, scraping up browned bits from bottom. Simmer until liquid is reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add chicken stock. Return chicken to pot. Place pot in oven. Bake uncovered until chicken is cooked through, turning chicken occasionally, about 35 minutes.
• Using slotted spoon, transfer chicken, carrots and sliced garlic to large bowl. Tent with foil to keep warm.
• Boil cooking liquid over medium-high heat until reduced to 3 cups, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Pour 1 cup reduced cooking liquid into small bowl. Set aside.

Using electric mixer, beat egg whites and pinch of salt in medium stainless steel bowl until soft peaks form. Fold in egg yolks, then lemon juice mixture. Set bowl over saucepan of simmering water (do not allow bottom of bowl to touch water). Whisk until mixture thickens, about 3 minutes. Gradually add reserved 1 cup cooking liquid, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens, about 3 minutes (do not boil). Add sauce to mustard greens; stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Pour sauce and mustard greens over chicken and serve.

RECIPE FOR CHICKEN FRICASSEE

Steps:

• HEAT OVEN to 375F/190C.
• SEASON CHICKEN: Place flour coating (flour + seasonings) in bag. Pat chicken dry and add it to bag. Shake to coat evenly. If bag is small, do a few pieces at a time. Alternatively, dip pieces of chicken in flour coating on plate and shake off. You just want a very light coating.
• SAUTÉ CHICKEN: Heat oil in large oven proof skillet to medium-high heat (7/10). Sauté chicken until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. It won't be cooked through. Remove to plate lined with a paper towel. Keep 2 tablespoons of grease/fat in skillet and discard the rest. If not enough grease, add butter or oil.
• SAUTÉ VEGETABLES: Lower heat to medium heat. Add all chopped vegetables (not including spinach) and sauté until almost tender, about 5-6 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
• MAKE SAUCE: Add flour and stir constantly for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits at the bottom of the pan. Add wine to the flour mixture and cook for 1 minute until almost evaporated, then add broth and herbs and stir until sauce is slightly thickened into a creamy white or light brown sauce. It will thicken more when baked with chicken.
• BAKE: Return chicken to skillet skin side up. Place skillet in oven, uncovered. Bake for 30-40 minutes, depending on thickness of chicken (if using boneless chicken, time will be cut in half or more). Chicken should be cooked to 160F/71C measured with an instant read thermometer. It will rise a few more degrees when finishing.
• FINISH AND SERVE: Remove skillet from oven and place on stove. Transfer chicken to plate and add cream to make a creamy sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt or thyme for example. Stir in chopped spinach if using until wilted (1 minute). Return chicken to skillet. Spoon sauce onto pieces and serve immediately.
