chicken fricassee
I believe this is one of my favorite ways of cooking (and eating) chicken. My twist is add enough lemon to cut through any grease that the chicken may release. The original recipe is made with white sauce but I love this twist of eggs and lemon that gives it a bit of a kick… There’s even another version that includes tomatoes but I never done it. I used to make this recipe all the time in England. I’ve done it once and my friends loved it. My flatmates would even ask for it every so often. They used to call it “lemon chicken” ๐ And one of them would always come to the pan while cooking and dip pieces of bread on the sauce… What a nice way to get compliments on your food ๐ Now you try it and let me know what you think ๐
