This delicious, creamy chicken fricassee is a classic Belgian recipe. My father used to make this regularly for Sundays and other festive occasions. Often served as a starter, but it is great as a main course as well, accompanied by plain rice or potato puree, for example. Freezes well. Its Flemish name is “Koninginnenhapje”, which could be translated as “Queen’s Nibble”… nice, isn’t it?
This is my mother’s recipe. Simple but delicious! It tastes great with French fries or mashed potatoes and is great for the cold winter days!
on peggy’s request and as a thank you for the wonderful kabuli. it comes from the cookbook by the farmers union. very popular in belgium especially because of its easy but yummy recipes. it’s a great succes when I serve my brothers this…judge for yourself!! (it is great just by itself (for my vegetarian friends) or really good with some chicken fillets.)
A wonderful and very elegant dinner party dish, and one that will impress your family and friends! These little parcels can be made ahead of time and frozen uncooked. In France you can buy these ready made in most supermarkets and butchers – but these are so easy to make, that I often make my own. You can also use turkey or veal escalopes – the sauce remains the same. Serve these little parcels with seasonal vegetables, gratin potatoes or rice and pasta.
I have never tried this recipe in a slow cooker but I think it could easily be adapted . Cook the shanks on low all day, have the beans prepared and finish the last steps before serving. Great taste, don’t be scared of the 12 cloves of garlic.
