Rub the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper, then chop the mushrooms and onion.
Use half the butter to turn the chicken in a pot for 6 minutes, letting it take on a light color.
Remove the chicken, then saute the onion and mushrooms in the remaining butter for 7 minutes.
Add the flour and stir for 2 minutes, until its raw smell disappears.
Add the chicken stock, bay leaf, and thyme, then return the chicken to the pot.
Cover the pot and cook the chicken fricassee over low heat for 30 minutes.
Add the cream and warm for 5 minutes without boiling, until the sauce thickens.
Chop the parsley and serve with mashed potatoes.
💡 Tip: After adding the cream, do not boil the sauce hard; keeping the pot over low heat is safer so it does not split.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve chicken fricassee with mashed potatoes and finely chopped parsley; plain yogurt fits better than cacik on the side.
