Chicken Fricassee With Meatballs Recipes

SECRET RECIPE CHICKEN FRICASSEE

Steps:

• Mix flour and margarine together in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the flour and margarine form a paste.
• Whisk cream into flour mixture about 1/2 cup at a time until smoothly combined; whisk in chicken broth and parsley. Bring sauce to a simmer, whisking constantly until thickened.
• Whisk egg yolks and lemon juice together in a bowl.
• Whisk egg yolk mixture slowly into cream mixture, about 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce barely comes to a simmer and coats the back of a spoon. Do not boil.
• If thicker sauce is desired, whisk cornstarch and 1/4 cup of sauce in a small bowl; stir cornstarch mixture back into sauce until thickened, about 2 minutes.
• Stir chicken breast pieces into sauce until chicken is heated through.

CHICKEN FRICASSEE WITH MEATBALLS

Steps:

• In a large skillet that has a tight fitting lid, cook the onion in the oil until soft and lightly colored, 15-20minutes.
• Stir in the tomato paste and the chopped tomatoes and their liquid.
• Add the chicken pieces and their giblets. The liquid should come up about halfway up the chicken but the pieces should not be submerged.
• Cover the skillet for 20minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Meanwhile, make the meatballs by combining all the ingredients in a large bowl.
• Form the mixture into 1 inch balls and add the balls to the skillet (you may need to move the chicken pieces around to make room).
• Re-cover the skillet and cook for an additional 20minutes.
• This can be served immediately, but it reheats really well.
• If you have the time, remove the chicken and meatballs, strain the broth, and remove the fat. Serve with rice or noodles.
