I'm a bit fan of one-pot recipes. Everything I've tried from your channel so far has been great (Boeuf Bourguignon, Chicken Chasseur, etc) so I will definitely give this a try next weekend.

[@vikz5786]

That sauce looks spectacular. Thanks for showing the technique! 👍👍

[@filmaadin]

I love these rural shortcut recipes that still create an awesome meal. More of this please.

[@paulafigueiredo1745]

It reminds me of my childhood. My grandma used to make this dish (without mushrooms), and I still do it for my husband and I. Thanks Steph 😋😋

[@kimdelo9795]

Looking forward to the one pot wonders. Coming from a French family that has lived outside France for a couple of generations, when my family 'cooked French' it either involved searing a piece of meat in a pan then making a sauce out of whatever meat pieces were stuck to the bottom of the pan, or else simmering something in a cocotte over low heat for a whole day and throwing more things into the pot at strategic moments to make a rich sauce. I was always told that French grandmas 200 years ago kept an iron pot of hot water over the kitchen fire at all times, and threw whatever vegetables or pieces of meat they came up with into the pot to simmer forever. The result was what they fed their families. Cooking things in one pot for hours over low heat is the REAL 'French Cooking.' My family, and most French families I think, don't give the slightest crap about whatever book Escoffier wrote.

[@josephmclaughlin9865]

Interesting comment, Kimdelo. Here in the US, I find some people who think France = Paris and French Cooking = Multistar Michelin. I had an Aunt from small-town France, many miles from Paris and she was such a wonderful cook that I dream about her food to this day. So many of my friends/neighbors/coworkers have said, "I don't like French food," and I say (or think) "You've never had it!"

[@lucasmyers9795]

I echo your sentiments and also think that French cooking gets accused too frequently of being high brow and snobby. Which is ultimately a turn off to a lot of people. In my opinion quintessential French cooking is that of the country side. Rustic yet full of flavor and of course made with love for the whole family to enjoy.

[@garlicgirl3149]

That is why I liked Jacque Pepin. He always told stories of what his mom and grandma were cooking which helped me learn what the common person would eat versus the fancy restaurants.

[@Lostouille]

​​@@josephmclaughlin9865that's because we don't capitalise on our food (the sweet ones maybe but not really the simplest dishes). It's easier for them to know food like italian one because a lot of italians immigrated to the US 1 century ago , meanwhile our restaurants with complicated techniques was what the tourists known (back then a plane ticket costed a lot the 50's/60's etc..) so I'm not surprised that now no one knows our simple food unique of the romance countries. And that's for the better 😂 I'm scared of your fellow countrymen discovering fondue/raclette/tartiflette/quiche/croque monsieur and etc...because they will do 83929293 videos where they ad tons of cheddar or weird sprinkles 😂. Please keep your attention on Italy with their pizzas 😭😭

[@csmats5374]

American chicken fricassee as my mother did it was always one pot in this style (floured chicken instead of making a roux) but the addition of wine and the egg yolk adds levels of flavor and texture that I simply must try out next time I make it.

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

the egg yolks are great for thickening the sauce at the end 👍

[@along5925]

Loved this! Thanks so much for your wonderful tutorials. I've been cooking many years, but I love to keep learning new approaches to old favorites. Much success to you my friend.

[@joannthornton8499]

This is a great way to cook and simplify steps without sacrificing flavor. I used this deconstructed concept to a previous dish of yours, Starred Chef Chicken Bake. In that dish I cooked everything in one pot and it turned out fabulous! My family praised it. I love French cooking for its use of ingredients such as the herbs which are subtle background notes but bring harmonious flavor to excite the palate. Merci Stephane!

[@TheLoyalOfficer]

"One Pot Wonders" - great idea! I am really happy I stumbled into this.

[@joekoscielniak8576]

This is a deceivingly simple treatment of this classic dish. There is flavor added at every turn and the final reduction perfect to ensure a dish suited for friends and family. It also is very affordable. I figured this is a meal for 4-5 people at about $4-5.00 per serving.

[@danlacrosse3662]

[@anniefitt8623]

If you don’t want the fricasse to have the carrots pop of color why not use parsnips instead? Slightly different flavor profile, but still should work well. I’ll let you know if it’s a failure when I try this next week!

Hi, I'm just wondering about the delicate cooking methods you utilise for chicken. I am thinking about utilising the flame heat of a Tsar Bomba, nuclear explosion to cook my extra huge chicken in my French villa in Nice. They have thick skin and speak in English and Italian. I'm going for the extra crispy look as a major modification to your recipe. What advice do you have?
