I love the traditional long simmered chicken Fricasse with bone in chicken parts and a egg thickened cream sauce full of fresh vegetables but was looking for a way to speed things up and lighten the dish a bit. This version I came up with is quick and really delicious. Serve it with rice, pasta or potatoes or just crusty bread to dip in the sauce.

This is a versatile dish. Substitute your favorite veggies in the sauce. The sauce can be eaten like a thick vegetable soup, if there is any left over.

I had stayed with my Cuban friend for a couple of months one of the mornings I woke up smell this fantastic amazing aroma I followed my nose to this crock pot sitting in the kitchen opened the lid saw plump swelled up raisins capers and oh my goodness did I fall in love, this is not his family's recipe by the way just in case they see this and want to use me in the crockpot next time for giving family secrets away so I followed through with a 1905 recipe from a Cuban restaurant in Tampa Florida as time went on and I made this dish over a dozen times kind of put my own flair on it by simply not measuring the ingredients, kind of have to use your senses on that one which makes it really good so if the first one isn't great try it again remember what you did and change what you think needs changed. Good luck and I hope you enjoy.

There are very different versions of this dish but this is how I learnt it from my grandmother many years ago. Off course it never turns out as good as she does it but it still nice to have a small taste of home. I have also posted a similar recipe using game a little while ago.

I offered measurements here for the recipe, but I tend to cook according to my nose and taste. I made the turkey stock using the leftover thanksgiving carcass and wings. Shredding the remaining meat as needed.

I often do this recipe with chicken. My mother made this with pigeon on this occasion.

Boiling the chicken in stock makes it very tender and juicy. Yummy!

Another quick dinner recipe after a long work day.
