Light Chicken Fricassée (French Chicken Stew)

I discovered the beautiful blog of Sonia (“La Cuisine de Boomy@soniab57) through her fantastic Facebook Group tests de recettes entre blogueurs. This Group is a GEM and Sonia and her team have been so welcoming from the get-go! This February 2023 our Group Challenge was to pick a “WINTER COMFORT FOOD RECIPE” from another blogger. Hence, I fell in love with Sonia’s recipe because she made a light version of a French Classic. Of course, you will find her recipe right HERE!

I hope your will Enjoy this French Classic as much as I did! Bon Appétit!

As always, you will find the Step-by-Step Video below the recipe.
