Instructions

  • Mise en Place
    Chicken Fricasse Mustard Mise En Place
  • 1 Chicken
    If you did not buy chicken parts, cut the chicken into pieces. This is a good time to use poultry shears.
    Chicken Fricasse Mustard Chicken Cut
  • 1 ounces Butter
    Heat a pan and melt the butter. We like using a 12-inch cast iron skillet because it retains heat.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt, 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
    Add the chicken pieces and brown, seasoning with salt and pepper.
    Chicken Fricasse Mustard Chicken Browning
  • You may have to do brown the chicken in batches depending on how large your chicken is.
  • When the chicken has browned on both sides, remove it from the pan and set it aside.

  • 1 ounce butter, 1 Red onion
    Add the remaining butter to the pan and sauté the onion until it is translucent.
  • 8 ounces White wine
    Pour the glass of wine into the pan and scrape up the delicious fond.
    Chicken Fricasse Mustard Wine
  • 13 ounces Sour cream, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
    Add the mustard and sour cream.

  • Return the chicken pieces to the pan. Turn the chicken around so every piece gets sauced.
  • Cover the pan and simmer on low heat for about 30 minutes.
  • The chicken is done when it reaches 165 °F (74 °C).
    Chicken Fricasse Mustard Finished
  • 1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley

Notes

Feel free to use chicken parts instead of a whole chicken.  If you do not have Dijon mustard, substitute brown mustard - not yellow or sweet.
