Classic Chicken Fricassée

×

Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs, bone-in, skin-on
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 bay leaf
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat.
- Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot, skin side down. Sear for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is golden brown. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze. Allow the wine to reduce by half, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken broth, thyme, and bay leaf to the pot. Stir to combine.
- Return the chicken thighs to the pot, skin side up. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer uncovered for an additional 5-10 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the chicken to the pot, coating it in the creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
