Ingredients

• 2.5 pounds chicken pieces
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1. In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
4. Return the chicken to the skillet and pour in the chicken broth and white wine. Bring to a simmer and cover. Cook for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
5. Remove the chicken from the skillet once again. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Pour the cream mixture into the skillet and stir well. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
6. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat through. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
7. Serve the Chicken Fricassee over rice or mashed potatoes, and enjoy!
