Special Chicken Fricassee Recipe

Ingredients

• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup margarine
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 4 egg yolks
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch, or as needed (Optional)
• 4 cooked chicken breasts, broken into chunks

Step 1

Melt the margarine in a saucepan over medium heat, then stir in the flour until it forms a smooth paste. Slowly whisk in the cream, adding about half a cup at a time, making sure it blends well before adding more. Once combined, pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle in the parsley. Keep whisking as the sauce warms up and begins to thicken.

Step 2

In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks together with the lemon juice. Gradually whisk this egg mixture into the sauce, adding it a little at a time. Heat gently until the sauce just starts to simmer and thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, but be careful not to let it boil.

Step 3

If you want the sauce a bit thicker, mix some cornstarch with a small amount of the sauce to make a smooth slurry, then stir it back into the pan. Let it cook for a couple of minutes until it thickens up nicely.

Step 4

Finally, add the cooked chicken pieces to the sauce and stir until everything is heated through and well coated. Serve warm and enjoy!
