Creamy Chicken Fricassee
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup margarine
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch, or as needed
  • 4 cooked chicken breasts, broken into chunks
Instructions
1
Combine the flour and margarine in a medium-sized saucepan over an average heat setting, stirring continuously until they form a uniform paste.
2
Gradually add the cream to the flour mixture in small increments, approximately half a cup at a time, stirring until it is fully incorporated and smooth; then whisk in the chicken broth and parsley to create a cohesive mixture.
3
Heat the sauce to a gentle boil, stirring constantly until it thickens and reaches the desired consistency.
4
In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolks and lemon juice, whisking until they are fully incorporated.
5
Slowly pour the egg yolk mixture into the cream mixture in small amounts, about one tablespoon at a time, stirring until the sauce reaches a gentle simmer and coats the back of a spoon. Avoid boiling the mixture.
6
If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk together the cornstarch and 1/4 cup of the existing sauce in a small bowl, then gently re-integrate it into the sauce until it reaches your desired consistency, approximately 2 minutes.
7
Introduce the chicken breast pieces into the sauce and stir until they are heated through.
