Questions about Chicken fricassee
What is chicken fricassee?
It is chicken gently cooked in a pan, then simmered in a pale sauce, often with mushrooms, onions and cream. Unlike a roast, the chicken cooks in the sauce, which also picks up its flavour.
How do you stop the sauce in chicken fricassee from splitting?
Turn the heat low before adding cream, and keep the sauce below a simmer once it is in. For an egg-yolk finish, whisk a little hot sauce into the yolk first, then stir that mixture into the pan off the heat.
How do you know when the chicken in a fricassee is cooked?
Check the thickest part of a piece with a food thermometer: it should reach 75 °C. Keep bone-in pieces at a gentle simmer until cooked through, rather than boiling the sauce hard.
What should you serve with chicken fricassee?
Mashed potatoes, buttered noodles or rice soak up the creamy sauce; peas or green beans add a fresh contrast. Crusty bread is useful for mopping up what is left.
Can you freeze chicken fricassee?
Yes, but cream sauces can turn grainy after freezing. Cool it promptly, freeze in a sealed container, and thaw in the fridge; stirring in a little fresh cream while reheating can help the sauce come together.
How long does chicken fricassee keep in the fridge?
Refrigerate leftovers within two hours in a covered container and use them within three to four days. Reheat only the portion you need until it is steaming hot throughout.

Fricassee usually has a pale, creamy sauce, while chicken chasseur is associated with a tomato, mushroom and wine sauce. Chicken chasseur has 78 kcal per 100 g, compared with 115 kcal in chicken fricassee.
