This recipe came from a BHG cookbook DH had when we got married. I remember paging through the book, seeing the name fricassee and thinking how interesting that sounded. That was back in 1978-since then we've had this many times. Don't ask me if it's pronounced frick-a-see or freh-cassie -either way works for me, but I like frick-a-see best! Please be aware, as per suggestion by recent reviewer....make sure you mix the flour, paprika and seasonings carefully. I've never had a problem with range of flour (I don't even measure it!) and the seasonings, but the reason I give a range for the flour is that some people prefer to not have as much flour leftover (to throw away)....or to have a more potent flavor (!!!). Enjoy!!! Ingredients:
3 -6 tablespoons flour |
2 teaspoons paprika |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
3 -6 tablespoons butter |
1 broiler-fryer chicken, cut in pieces (or 10 drums & thighs) |
1 (10 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup (see note) |
1 (10 ounce) soup can milk or 1 cream |
1 (4 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Combine dry ingredients on a plate; brush chicken pieces with butter, dip into flour mixture.
3. Arrange chicken in 13x9 pan; sprinkle any remaining flour over the meat.
4. Bake for 20 minutes.
5. Meanwhile, combine soup & milk in a bowl, and zap in the microwave (or stovetop in a pot), until hot & bubbly; stir well, add mushrooms if used.
6. NOTE: Add an extra can of soup if you'd like a LOT of gravy.
7. Drain fat from chicken; pour soup mixture over the meat.
8. COVER pan with foil, continue baking until the meat is tender-about 40 minutes; juices will run clear when pierced with fork or knife-point.
9. Remove foil and bake for 10 more minutes.
10. SERVE: Ladle gravy over rice or egg noodles. A serving of broccoli or corn - and - dinner is served! .
11. LEFTOVER MEAT: Pick meat from bones, mix with leftover rice and gravy, spoon into a serving/baking dish-next day, reheat in the microwave for Fricasserole !
