What is Chicken Fricassee?

Chicken Fricassee is a flavorful meal consisting of smothered chicken that gets pan fried and then continues cooking in the skillet with broth to create a stew-like dish. It’s creamy, juicy, and as flavorful as you’d expect.

What can I use instead of wine?

If you don’t have white wine, you can substitute it with additional chicken broth, white grape juice, or apple cider vinegar. There are also nonalcoholic cooking wines that you can find at your local grocery store.

What kind of pan do I need for this chicken?

When preparing the Chicken Fricassee, you’ll need to use a large skillet. You want to have more than enough space for all the ingredients to fit in the skillet, including the chicken broth and chicken thighs.

Recipe Tips and Notes

  • You can use homemade chicken broth or store-bought chicken broth. It doesn’t matter the brand!
  • If you don’t have heavy cream, you can always replace it with half-and-half.
  • After adding the wine to the skillet, be sure to scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the sauce to get maximum flavor.
