Chicken Fricassee

When I visited Wisconsin last fall, my dad made this delicious dish called Chicken Fricassee. Which is just a fancy way of saying to prepare poultry by cutting into pieces and stewing in gravy. I think Chicken Fricassee rolls off the tongue a little easier. 

My dad's recipe was adapted from The Classic Italian Cook Book by Marcella Hazan. When I returned home, I decided to give it a try and was very happy with the results. However, I will make one minor change next time: chicken breast instead of chicken legs. But you really could make this dish with any cut of chicken and in fact, I think the original recipe calls for using a whole chicken cut up. Hence the "by cutting into pieces" part of the description.

New Year, New Goals!

Hello 2014! It's been quite some time since I last posted anything... 79 days to be exact. Obviously this idea I had to write daily is not happening.  I think I set myself up for failure in the beginning by choosing a blog name with daily in it. And because I wasn't writing everyday, I felt like I was failing at what I set out to do, and then I really started to ignore the whole thing.
