Description
Golden, tender chicken in a creamy white wine sauce with hearty veggies—Chicken Fricassee is the French comfort food you didn’t know you needed.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 3 chicken drumsticks
- 1½ tsp salt, divided
- 1 tsp black pepper, divided
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- ½ cup chopped carrot
- ½ cup chopped celery
- 8 oz white mushrooms, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ cup dry white wine
- 1½ cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Season chicken with 1 tsp salt and ½ tsp pepper on both sides.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Brown chicken skin-side down, about 3–4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- Add butter to skillet and melt. Add onion, carrot, celery, mushrooms, and garlic. Sauté until softened, 7 minutes.
- Stir in wine; cook until reduced by half, 4–5 minutes.
- Add broth, cream, thyme, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp pepper. Bring to a simmer.
- Return chicken (and juices) to skillet. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered until chicken is cooked through (165°F) and sauce thickens, about 25 minutes.
- Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
Notes
For extra flavor and texture, chill the chicken uncovered before browning. The sauce thickens more as it rests—don’t rush it!
