  • The main ingredient for chicken fricassee in cream sauce is white chicken meat. Breast fillet is the traditional choice — its neat, even pieces make the dish look appetizing and restaurant-worthy. But if you have another cut on hand and don't feel like making a special trip for breast, use whatever you've got: just remove the skin, take out the bones, and use only the tender meat. Pour the cream and chicken broth into a deep skillet or saucepan, then add the finely chopped green onion, vegetable oil, and vinegar. Stir until all the liquids are well combined, cover, and cook over low heat for 5 minutes from the moment it comes to a boil, stirring now and then with a silicone or metal spatula so it doesn't stick to the bottom. Cut the chicken fillet (or your other cut) into long, thin strips — this shape cooks quickly and looks good in the finished dish. Dust the chicken with flour and toss well so every piece is evenly coated on all sides. This slightly thickens the delicate cream sauce and adds flavor to the meat. Add the chicken to the cream mixture along with the green peas, cover, and simmer. In summer you can use fresh peas; in winter, frozen ones round out the dish nicely. Chicken is very tender and cooks fast — just 5–7 minutes from the time it goes into the simmering cream sauce until it's done. Plate the chicken fricassee, add any side you like, and sprinkle with finely chopped tarragon.
  • A light, delicious dinner is ready! Enjoy!
