A traditional Cuban meal, Chicken Fricassee was a staple of my childhood food culture. Made of whatever chicken pieces available, coupled with chunks of smooth potatoes, Fricassee is an affordable meal that can feed a large crowd. But don’t let this meal fool you; Chicken Fricassee will fill your home with the warmth of dried herbs and the hearts of your family with the love of a slow cooked meal.
