Chicken Fricassee is tender chicken braised in a creamy white wine sauce that is bursting with vegetables and flavor. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice or pasta!
Preheat your oven to 375ºF. Whisk the flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Pat each chicken thigh dry with a paper towel, then dredge each piece through the flour. Place on a plate.
Heat the oil in a large, ovenproof skillet or braising pan over medium high heat. Place the chicken skin side down in the hot oil and fry until browned, around 8-9 minutes, adding more oil if needed. Flip and brown the underside for 5-6 minutes. Remove and place on a plate.
Drain all but 1 tablespoon of the oil from the pan and add in the butter.
Add the prepped onions, carrots and mushrooms and cook, stirring, until mushrooms have released their moisture and are golden brown.
Add the garlic and saute until fragrant.
Add the flour and cook until the flour is mixed throughout and smells slightly nutty.
Stir in the wine and deglaze the pan by scraping all the brown bits off the bottom of the pan, making sure that the flour is also not clumping and mixes in. Once done, stir in the chicken broth.
Place the chicken thighs into the pan between the vegetables.
Bake uncovered in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the carrots are tender and the chicken is at least 185ºF on an instant read thermometer.
Remove the pan from the oven and stir the cream into the sauce. Garnish with the fresh thyme leaves.
Serve over mashed potatoes, rice or pasta.
