Ingredients

I remember from childhood that this dish was served. To me, this is such a typical lick the rest of the sauce off the plate dish. A dish that quickly ends up in a horizontal position on the sofa for a while afterwards. It's hard to stop eating! It tastes fantastic with chicken fricassee and lamb fricassee as well, but today it was chicken. If you are going to make this dish first, buy a whole chicken. That is the key to having the good broth. It is the broth that gives the good taste of the sauce and the quality of the chicken also helps to get the good result. If you do not buy whole chicken, then buy fresh chicken thighs. This dish is cheap, easy to make and tastes lovely. It takes some time, but it's worth it. Why stress with food when it's the weekend? Half the joy is to smell the delicious smells from the pan and look forward to dinner. Gather family or friends and enjoy a good meal together.


I think no one looks back in time to regret good meals with loved ones! Think about prioritizing this as often as you can.
