Fricassee in wine sauce
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Traditionally, this French dish is made with white meat—most commonly chicken, rabbit, pork, and sometimes even pigeon—and simmered in a white sauce. But we're going to do it a little differently. In this recipe, I'll show you how to make fricassee in a wine sauce, adding some vegetables to enhance its already amazing flavor. Thanks to marinating, the chicken pieces will become incredibly tender and juicy, while the wine sauce will perfectly complement the dish. You can start preparing the meat in the morning and enjoy a wonderful dinner with your family in the evening, as making fricassee in wine sauce at home is incredibly easy. The finished dish is ready to be served.

Now transfer the chicken and vegetables to a pot and cover with a lid to keep them warm. Strain the sauce, return it to the skillet, and simmer over low heat until reduced by half.
