    A traditional German fricassee dish is a delicious one-pot meal

    German Chicken Dish

    This German chicken fricassee is a very popular German chicken dish named “Hühnerfrikassee” in German. This recipe originated in France, but it is a staple on German menus. The beauty of this dish is that you can make it easily from chicken leftovers, or you can use a whole chicken or chicken breasts. Even though this dish has some traditional ingredients, you could make it with all kinds of white meat and vegetables. This is where the name fricassee comes from, as it means “ragbag of ingredients” and makes this recipe perfect for using up your leftover meats and veggies.
