Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken pieces (drumsticks, thighs, or breasts)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 carrot, peeled and sliced
  • 1 celery stalk, sliced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Directions

  1. In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high 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 onion, garlic, carrot, celery, and mushrooms. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet and add the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  5. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the heavy cream, parsley, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well and bring to a boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend. Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until heated through.
  7. Serve the chicken fricassee hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
