tarragon chicken fricassee

This Chicken Fricassee recipe is the original French comfort food. Chicken breasts cooked with earthy mushrooms in a velvety sauce and sprinkled with tarragon for perfection. Served with rice, roasted vegetables or bulgur pilaf (like I did), it is a perfect meal for any occasion.

Chicken Fricassee Recipe

chicken breasts

salt

black pepper

butter

olive oil

onion (finely chopped – (about to 1 cup))

lbs. Portobello mushrooms (cleaned, trimmed, and sliced)

dry white wine

all-purpose flour

garlic (minced)

chicken stock stock

sour cream

nutmeg

lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

tarragon (minced (If you can’t find tarragon, you can use parsley))

Pat dry chicken breasts with paper towels and season them generously with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.

Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet. Place chicken breasts and cook each side for 4 minutes, in medium high heat. At this point they will not be cooked thoroughly.

Place them on a plate, cover with aluminum foil and set aside.

Add the mushrooms, onions, and white wine to same skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned.

Add garlic and flour and give it a generous stir. Cook for 1 minute.

Add chicken broth; scrape the bottom to loosen the brown bits and cook until the broth is boiling.

Add the chicken and all the juices in the plate and cover it with a lid. Cook in medium heat, until the chicken registers 160 F. degrees when a thermometer is inserted in the middle. This will take 5 to 10 minutes.

In the meantime, whisk the egg yolk and sour cream in a small bowl.

Take the chicken breasts out and place it on a platter. Cover it with aluminum foil. Set aside.

Measure 1/2 cup of the mushroom sauce and stir it into the sour cream and egg mixture. Mix.

Stirring constantly, slowly pour the mixture into the skillet. Stir in the lemon juice, tarragon, and nutmeg. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Taste it for seasoning and add more, if necessary.

To serve, place a chicken breast on a plate and pour the sauce over it. Sprinkle it with more tarragon.

This Chicken Fricassee is the original French comfort food. Chicken thighs cooked with earthy mushrooms in a velvety sauce and sprinkled with tarragon for perfection. Served with rice, roasted vegetables or bulgur pilaf (like I did), it is a perfect meal for any occasion.
