Chicken Fricassée (French creamy chicken stew)
Instructions
Prep:20minCook:1h
Recipe video above. A recipe from our chef JB (yes, he's French!), this traditional French dish is essentially a quick chicken stew with a creamy white mushroom sauce. It's a bit like a white sauce version of the famous French Coq au Vin – but it's much faster to make!This is a wonderful rustic family meal that's quick enough for midweek, or to elevate to restaurant level by using homemade chicken stock.
