I love fricasseed chicken !! Cooking this way lends it's self to so many different cuisines . Hunter's Chicken for the Italian's and the list runs on and on . The mix of veggies and spices always help make this style of chicken dish wonderful. I hope the next time you all cook chicken in a
fricasseed style you'll remember this thread on show us how to do things.
What I'm going to show is a tropical style fricasseed chicken. I took the recipe for Pasta From Hell
and just added chicken. What makes this a little different is the use fruit juices and fruit. And the parmesan cheese at the end really tops it off !!
First step for me is to "season up" the chicken thighs. So I chopped up a yellow onion , green onions , carrots , bell pepper , and garlic. At this point you could add anything you want that will take being cooked for a long time. I let this sit for at 3 hours or up to over night. Here's a picture of the chicken thighs seasoning and a few other items I'll use later. The orange stuff in the jar is my home made Inner Beauty style hot sauce. Nuff Scotch Bonnets , mustard , mango, etc. Very nice !!
The next thing I did was scrape everything off the thighs , dust them lightly with flour , and brown them up real nice.
Then I set them aside , got rid of the excess corn oil, and sautéed the veggies until the onion was soft and the mixture was giving off a wonderful aroma. Then put the chicken back in the pan and added 4 tablespoons of the hot sauce , a mixture of the pineapple juice from the tidbits , lime and orange juices , and a little brown sugar.
After the chicken is done cooking , about 45 min. and I have a nice gray going on I take the thighs out again. Then I add the pineapple tidbits , a handful of cilantro , a few small tomatoes and cook that for a few minutes. Then I add the parmesan cheese and banana slices that are about 1/2 " to 3/4" thick. You want to use green bananas , very firm and green . You don't need to really cook the bananas just mix things up good.
