Chicken Fricassee

[elleng]

Chicken Fricassee is a classic French dish that combines tender, browned chicken pieces with a rich, creamy sauce flavored with white wine, broth, and aromatic herbs. The dish is both comforting and elegant, with the chicken simmered gently until it’s infused with the flavors of the sauce. Vegetables like mushrooms, onions, and carrots often accompany the chicken, adding texture and depth to the dish. This one-pot meal is perfect for a cozy dinner or special occasion, offering a balance of richness and freshness that pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread.

Ty for sharing!

2. Sounds really great, but the photo accompanying the article does NOT do it justice, as it looks nothing....

......like "browned chicken pieces" that have been "simmered gently" in a flavorful sauce. Look at it. Marketgrow, you really blew it with this article. Blame the photographer and whoever prepared the food for the article.

5. Right, that's definitely false advertising!

3. My problem with "skin-on" chicken------

How do you keep it browned and crispy after simmering in liquid? Mine always turns gummy and inedible. I love this kind of chicken recipe but can’t seem to get the skin right.

4. Guess the movie this line is from.

How’s the fricassee, Margie?

6. My W.A.G. would be something with Humphrey Bogart or W.C. Fields.

7. No. The movie was made within the last 30 years :-)

And it’s a classic

8. Like I said, my "Wild Ass Guess". I'll think some more. It does sound familiar.

9. Want a clue?

[EarnestPutz]

10. Sure. Pleased give me one.

11. "You betcha!"

12. Is that Frances McDormand's line from "Fargo"?

[La Coliniere]

13. Yes! Fargo. But it was her husband and other characters who use the phrase.

The fricassee line is from the buffet cafeteria scene where a cop walks over to Marge, who is already eating, and asks how the fricassee was. She replies it was pretty good, and if he wanted some. Great movie. I thought you’d get the answer after I gave you the clue. Not many movies where you hear the word “fricassee”. I almost used “wood chipper” as the clue. Lol
