Chicken Fricasee

I'm the mother of four boys who are definitely carnivores! I usually like to make a lot of easy prep slow simmer meals. Like stews, sauces, pot roasts etc. These things work for me cause the prep is quick and cook time is usually a no brainer...check every now and then.....and tada...dinner!!!!

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons dried parsley
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen green peas
• 2 (14.5 ounce) cans fat-free chicken broth
• 2 (3 pound) whole chickens, cut into pieces
• 2 onion, peeled and sliced into rings
• 6 baking potatoes, peeled and quartered

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven, over medium-high heat. Briefly brown chicken pieces in batches. When all of the pieces have been browned, return them all to the pot and cover with a layer of sliced onions, and then potatoes. Season with pepper and sprinkle with parsley. Pour the chicken broth over all.

Step 2

Cover and simmer on low heat for 45 minutes, pushing potatoes down into the liquid occasionally. When potatoes are tender but not mushy, add frozen peas and simmer for 5 more minutes.
