Ingredients
 

  • 5 Chicken Thighs
  • 1/2 onion (medium | Chopped)
  • 8 oz (225 g) white mushrooms
  • 8 oz (225 g) shiitake mushrooms
  • 1 Tbsp (14 g) Tuscan Oil
  • Sel Gris Mill (Season to Taste)
  • Pepper Mill (Season to Taste)
  • 3 1/2 oz (100 g) white wine
  • 7 oz (200 g) Chicken Stock (Original Recipe Calls for Water )
  • 1 Tbsp (12 g) sour cream (Light)

Instructions
 

GETTING STARTED

  • Peel and cut your onion in half then into quarters. Transfer it to your Eco Chop. Give it a few pulls to chop it to your liking. Set aside.
  • Wash, clean and slice your mushrooms in halves or quarters depending on their sizes. Set aside.

COOK!

  • Heat a large frying pan on medium-high. Once hot, pour the Tuscan Oil. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 4 minutes until golden brown. Turn and cook the other side for 1 minute.
  • Bring the heat down to medium: Add the chopped onions, mushrooms and season with Salt and Pepper (To taste). Make them sweat for about 8 minutes. NOTE: This will allow the vegetables to soften without taking on any colour.
  • Pour the white wine and stir to dissolve the brown residue stuck to the pan into the sauce. Let it evaporate.
  • Adjust the heat to medium-low, then pour the water and cover with the lid. Let it simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Once your Light Chicken Fricassée is ready, combine the sour cream. Serve hot with your favorite side! Enjoy and Bon Appétit!
