Recipe using Fricassee



Old Fashioned Chicken Fricassee



Pronounced frik-a-say in French, chicken fricassee is a thick and creamy chicken stew, perfect for a rainy day or just to add a bit of comfort to your evening meal. This tasty dish will please even the pickiest of eaters. For all the red meat lovers out there, the chicken can easily be substituted for beef stew meat paired with hunks of potatoes for extra filling.  Those wanting something a little less ordinary can try a tangy Greek fricassee using lamb shoulder and lemon juice. I challenge to find your favorite fricassee and share it with us! Bonne chance!
