Chicken Fricassee

I tried this for the first time tonight and loved it! I used a pressure cooker but stopped it a few times to make sure the bottom wasn't burning. Next time I will make some modifications to the timing.

Ingredients:

• 6 large chicken drumsticks


• 2 medium potatoes


• 1 large carrot


• 2 stalks celery


• 1 medium onion


• 1/2 cup plain flour


• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme


• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary


• 2 cups chicken stock


• 1 cup boiling water


• 1 cup frozen green beans


• salt and pepper

Method:

1. Chop potato, onion, carrot and celery.


2. Brown the chicken drumsticks in the pressure cooker pan on the stove top. Put chicken aside for later.


3. Cook onion and cook on low heat in pan until translucent or for about 5 minutes.


4. Add flour and fry off for about 1 minute.


5. Add chicken stock and cup of hot water. Bring to the boil.


6. Add carrots and celery, rosemary and thyme, then salt and pepper.


7. Add chicken and place the lid on the pressure cooker.


8. Cook for about 5 minutes. Open pressure cooker and stir. Cook for another 7 minutes.


9. Open pressure cooker and add potatoes. Cook for another 2 1/2 minutes.


10. While the main dish is cooking, Microwave beans for about 2 1/2 minutes.


11. Open pressure cooker and leave open pressure cooker on medium heat. Add the beans and cook until potatoes are tender.


12. Eat as a stew or would also work well with rice.
