Ingredients

  • 1/2 each chicken about 1 lb, skinned, fat removed
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 x black pepper freshly ground
  • 1/4 cup flour, all-purpose
  • 1 each egg whites
  • 1/4 cup milk skim
  • 1 x rice country style
  • 1/4 cup roux dry brown
  • 1 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup onions chopped
  • 1/2 cup scallions, spring or green onions chopped
  • 2 each garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon parsley leaves fresh, finely chopped
  • 18 teaspoon allspice ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 x black pepper freshly ground

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).
  • Cut the chicken into pieces.
  • Blend the paprika and pepper with the flour.
  • Beat the egg white with the milk.
  • Dip the chicken into the egg white mixture and then into the seasoned flour.
  • Lay the chicken in a baking pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • While the chicken is baking, make the country rice.
  • Make the fricassee gravy: Put the "roux" into a saucepan and blend in the water a little at a time so there are no lumps and the sauce is smooth.
  • Add all remaining ingredients, cover and simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and add it to the pot with the fricassee gravy.
  • Let all simmer for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is very tender and easily comes off the bones.
  • Spoon the chicken fricassee onto plates and accompany with the country rice.
  • NOTES: The chicken is even good served just out of the oven without the fricassee gravy.
  • Tastes like fried!
  • VARIATION: The skinned chicken breasts you buy at the grocery, or skinless turkey breasts cut into strips, both make an excellent fricassee.
