Oven Chicken Fricassee Recipes

CHICKEN FRICASSEE (FRICASSEE DE POULET A L'ANCIENNE)

Steps:

• Brown ChickenSeason chicken on both sides with 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Preheat a Dutch oven or other large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter and the oil to pot. When butter melts and foam subsides, add half the chicken, skin side down, in a single layer; do not crowd pot. (If butter begins to blacken, lower heat.) Fry chicken, turning once, until golden brown on both sides, about 10 minutes total, and transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Saute MirepoixReduce heat to medium, and add mirepoix (onion, carrot, and celery) to pot, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Saute mirepoix, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown in places, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Cook Mushrooms and FlourAdd mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms darken, become glossy, and begin to release liquid, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in flour, and cook until flour is absorbed by vegetables and is no longer visible, about 1 minute.
• Pour in Wine and BrothAdd wine to pot, and bring to a boil, stirring until liquid just thickens, about 45 seconds. Add broth, and stir.
• Simmer ChickenPlace chicken, skin side up, in a single layer on vegetables; pour juices that have accumulated on plate into pot. Tie parsley sprigs, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf together with kitchen twine; add to pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover partially. Cook until internal temperature of thickest part of chicken registers 165 degrees, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer chicken to a clean plate. Simmer liquid, uncovered, until reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Discard herbs.
• Make and Add LiaisonTo make the liaison (sauce thickener), whisk together egg yolks and cream in a medium bowl. Whisking constantly, pour 1/2 cup cooking liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time, into liaison to temper it. Stir tempered liaison into pot.
• Finish with Tarragon, Lemon, and ButterReturn chicken to pot. Add tarragon, lemon juice, and the remaining butter. Bring to a simmer, stir gently to combine, and serve.

CHICKEN FRICASSEE, WITH MUSHROOMS IN WHITE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large heavy-based sauté pan or casserole over medium heat, add the olive oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add to the hot pan (put the thighs in skin side down) and sauté for 3-4 minutes on one side, until golden. (You may need to do it in two batches if your pan is small) Turn the chicken over, add the lardons, garlic, and mushrooms and mix well. Stir in the bay leaf, rosemary, and thyme.
• Add the brandy, and increase to medium-high heat and simmer for 1 minute, then lower the heat back to medium and simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
• Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered, over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, then cover and cook for a further 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
• Transfer to a baking tray, and place under a hot grill for 4-5 minutes for crispy skin (this is an additional step which I did to crisp up the skin).
• In the meantime, increase the heat under the pan to medium-high to reduce and slightly thicken the sauce.
• Discard the garlic, rosemary and bay leaf. Spoon sauce with mushroom and bacon onto plate and top with chicken. Garnish with thyme (leaves only) or chopped parsley.

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.

CHICKEN FRICASSéE (FRENCH CREAMY CHICKEN STEW)

Steps:

• 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.

• Return chicken to sauce: Return chicken back into the sauce with the skin side up.

• 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.
