Cook time: 40 min
Total time: 1 h
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: French
Ingredients: 1 whole chicken, cut into pieces; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 onion, diced; 2 cloves of garlic, minced; 1 cup chicken broth; 1 cup heavy cream; 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; Salt and pepper to taste; 1 cup mushrooms, sliced; 1 cup frozen peas; 2 tablespoons butter; Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the onion and garlic, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for another 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer and thicken slightly.
Stir in the heavy cream and dried thyme, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the sauce for a few minutes until it thickens.
Add the sliced mushrooms and frozen peas to the skillet, stirring to combine. Let the vegetables cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Return the browned chicken pieces to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce and vegetables. Cover the skillet with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven.
Bake the chicken fricassee for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
Remove the skillet from the oven and stir in the butter to add richness to the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve the Baked Chicken Fricassee hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
