Chicken Fricassee, Cacciatora Style
Like the other posters this week, I am thrilled to be in this chapter, as we eat LOTS of chicken. This recipe is a great dish to celebrate the cooler weather. My photo looks like a mess. But it was a very GOOD mess! This is very much like a stew with onion, carrot, peppers, celery, imported canned plum tomatoes, garlic, white wine and CHICKEN. This is definitely a great fall comfort food dish!
A whole chicken cut into pieces, lightly turned in flour, browned, and then cooked slowly with the other ingredients. It is served with the vegetables over the top. I had house guests for the weekend and used Marcella’s “Ahead-of -time note” to prepare the chicken the day before. I simply reheated it before serving it with some creamy polenta. It is “falling off the bone” tender and flavorful. There were rave reviews around the table.
This looks fantastic Palma. Like you, we eat a lot of chicken and I think Marcella is a genius when it comes to chicken.
She once told us in class that “Victor eats no one with wings.” I could hardly believe it since every chicken recipe of hers is so fantastic, perfect in every way.
It must have been very tasty, Palma. I strongly sense how happy you aree to be out of the fish chapter! Enjoy it, cara.
Looks great Palma. I may be in the minority but I will miss the fish chapter. *sigh* I will not miss heads and eye balls though. LOL
This looks delicious and comforting. Yum!
It looks awesome! No apolgies needed for the the pics. It’s overcast and wet here today, makes me long to try my hand at this for dinner tonight!
I’m going to try this tonight, since we are having our first hint of Fall.
