                     Chicken Frikasse

This is as german as can be. I guess the whole country cooks this, not just regional. This is a fast dish, because you basically use left over chicken from a chicken soup or fried chicken. But you always just use the white meat and no skin. If you don't have left over chicken from a chicken broth, just cook the chicken breast in salt water until done and then, when its cooled down, cut them into small pieces.

This is what you need:

- 250 gr Chicken Meat

- 400 ml Chicken Broth

- 150 gr Carrots (i like the baby carrots from the can)

- 150 gr frozen peas (or from a can)

- 150 gr white mushrooms

- 25 gr Butter

- 25 gr Flour

- 100 ml heavy whip (or crema media for less fat)

- 1 TSP Lemon Juice

- Salt and Pepper to taste

This is how you do it:

Cut the Chicken in small pieces. Do the same with the mushrooms. 

In a bigger pot, let the Butter melt. Now add the Flour to make a Roux, stir constantly.

Add the Chicken Broth and stir until it starts thickening up. Now add the vegetables. Let everything simmer on medium heat for around 5 min.. Now add the Cream, Lemon juice and the chicken. Salt and Pepper everything to taste and let sit on low flame for another 5 min., just long enough to heat the meat back up without cooking it. 

You can serve it with Rice, but its also good without anything. Some people even put white asparagus in it, but my family doesn't like asparagus. 

Guten Appetit
