Chicken Fricassee is a classic French stew made with tender chicken pieces braised in a creamy white sauce with mushrooms and carrots. This dish combines the comforting flavors of a hearty stew with the refined touch of French culinary techniques.
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat and brown the chicken pieces. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the butter and sauté the onions until translucent.
Add the garlic and mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms are browned.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Gradually stir in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
Return the chicken pieces to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes.
Add carrots and simmer for an additional 15 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the carrots are tender.
Stir in the cream and cook for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
