Fricassee Chicken Recipe - Cooking Index
This is another classic from the Island. It is served in Jamaica and in Brooklyn with the same degree of pride. It is not overspicy, but the flavor is rich.
Cuisine: Jamaican| 1 | Chicken - (4 lbs) - cut 8 serving pieces | |
| 1 | Juice of 1 lime | |
| 2 | Yellow onions - peeled and sliced (medium) | |
| 2 | Tomatoes, red ripe - coarsely chopped | |
| 3 | Garlic cloves - peeled and crushed | |
| 3 | Scallions - chopped | |
| 1 1/2 teaspoons | 7.5ml | Dried thyme, whole |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Salt |
| 1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Freshly-ground black pepper |
| 2 tablespoons | 30ml | Peanut oil |
| 1/2 cup | 118ml | Water |
Toss all the ingredients except the peanut oil and water in a large bowl and marinate for 1/2 hour.
Drain the chicken, reserving the marinade and vegetables. Brown the chicken in a non-stick frying pan, using the oil. You should probably do this in two batches.
Place the chicken in a 6- to 8-quart stove-top casserole and add the reserved marinade, including the vegetables, plus 1/2 cup of water. Cover and simmer 1 hour.
Add more salt and pepper to taste. This recipe serves 4.
