Method 3 Steps

1

Heat enough olive oil or butter in a wok-style pan over medium-high heat to brown the chicken thighs. Once golden brown on both sides, remove them from the pan and set aside.
2

In the same pan, add the onion, celery, leek, mushrooms, and garlic. Stir-fry for 5 minutes, then return the thighs to the pan. Pour in the wine and the chicken stock (cube diluted in water), add all the spices, herbs, and salt, followed by the cream. Mix to combine, then simmer over low heat until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
3

Serve the fricassée with mashed potatoes, pasta, rice, or a freshly baked baguette 🥖, accompanied by vegetables or a salad on the side.
