Ingredients
  

  • 600 g chicken thighs boneless, skinless, diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp plain flour
  • 200 g mushrooms sliced
  • 150 g pearl onions peeled (or 2 shallots, finely diced)
  • 250 ml chicken stock
  • 100 ml heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp fresh tarragon chopped

Equipment

  • gordon ramsay food

Method
 

  1. Pat the diced chicken thighs dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in your gordon ramsay food (or a large, heavy-bottomed pan) over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and brown for 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Reduce heat to medium. Add the mushrooms and pearl onions to the pan. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly golden. Stir in the plain flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually pour in the chicken stock, whisking continuously to prevent lumps and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a gentle simmer, then stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard.
  5. Return the browned chicken to the pan. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
  6. Stir in the fresh tarragon just before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot with rice, pasta, or crusty bread.

Notes

Don't rush the browning of the chicken – it adds so much depth of flavor to your fricassee and is key for a truly rich sauce!
