From: EatingWell - Spring 2004, The EatingWell Diabetes Cookbook (2005)
Fricassee is a classic French stew of chicken and vegetables, cooked
in white wine and finished with a touch of cream. The light
tarragon-infused sauce begs to be sopped up with crusty bread.

Prep Time: 15 min

Total Time: 40 min
Servings: 4
2 1/2 lb chicken, pieces (breast halves, thighs, and drumsticks)
1/4 tsp salt
Black pepper
2 Tbsp flour, all-purpose
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
5 large shallots
1 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 medium carrot
1 lb mushrooms, fresh small button
4 sprigs tarragon, fresh
4 tsp tarragon, fresh
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp water
1/4 cup sour cream, reduced-fat
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, shaking off
the excess. Heat oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven. Add
chicken; cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to
a plate.
2. Add shallots to the pan; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about
30 seconds. Add wine and scrape up any browned bits. Simmer until
reduced slightly, about 3 minutes.
3. Add broth; bring to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pan;
add carrot, mushrooms and tarragon sprigs. Reduce heat to low,
cover and simmer gently until the chicken is tender and no longer
pink in the center, about 20 minutes.
4. Transfer the chicken to a plate; cover with foil to keep warm.
Discard tarragon sprigs. Increase heat to medium-high. Simmer the
cooking liquid for 2 to 3 minutes to intensify flavor.
5. Add cornstarch mixture and cook, stirring, until slightly
thickened, about 2 minutes. Whisk in sour cream, mustard and
chopped tarragon. Serve immediately.
