Chicken Fricassee

Chicken Fricassee

Ingredients:

  • 1 hen, about 4 pounds, cut into serving pieces
  • Salt and cayenne pepper
  • 2/3 cups vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chopped onions
  • 1 cup chopped bell peppers
  • 4 to 5 cups warm water or chicken broth

  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 3 tablespoons chopped green onions

Directions:

  1. Season the chicken pieces generously with salt and cayenne. Set aside.

  3. Add the onions and bell peppers. Cook, stirring often, for about five minutes, or until they are soft.
  4. Add the chicken pieces and stir to coat well with the roux mixture. Cook for about five minutes.
  5. Slowly add the water or broth. Add the bay leaves.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for about two hours, or until the chicken is tender. Adjust seasonings.
  7. Remove the bay leaves.
  8. Add the parsley and green onions and serve immediately.
