Classic fricassee

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a classic fricassee? Prepare your food. Fricassee can be prepared from any fillet; the most tender is obtained from the breast. The cream for this recipe can be of any fat content, but remember that the higher the percentage of fat content of the products you use, the higher the calorie content of the dish. I used 10%.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the fillet under cool water and dry well. Remove films and veins as much as possible, as well as any remaining fat. Cut the fillet across the grain into medium pieces.

3. STEP 3

   

   Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the fillet in it for about 10-12 minutes until lightly browned.

4. STEP 4

   

   Then pour in 1/2 cup of hot water, cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to below medium and simmer the chicken for 10 minutes (the liquid should almost evaporate).

5. STEP 5

   

   Pour in a glass of cream, add a little salt and continue simmering for another 10 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add flour, mix well so that no lumps form. If there is not enough liquid, add a little water and stir until smooth. Next, pour in the raw yolk and stir quickly again. Add water until the gravy reaches the desired consistency (I needed almost 1/2 cup of water, you can add cream if desired).

7. STEP 7

   

   Add salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add some chopped fresh herbs, cover with a lid and keep on the stove off for a couple more minutes. That's it, the French chicken is ready! It is good to serve rice, mashed potatoes, and vegetables as a side dish. Bon appetit!

Restaurant dish. Chicken fillet stew with mushrooms in cream. Also a great option.

I prepared a classic fricassee. I did not deviate from the author’s recipe. With this cooking method, chicken breast meat turns out tender and juicy, soaked in creamy sauce. The sauce itself is light, pleasant texture and thickness, with a soft creamy taste. Delicate sourness and lemon notes make this dish, quite simple and prepared from ordinary ingredients, refined and worthy of serving at the holiday table. Thanks for the recipe, Blue-Eyed!
