1. Melt the butter in a large, heavy saucepan or deep skillet and
stir in the flour. When bubbly, slowly add the heated chicken stock,
stirring. Add cream and continue to cook, stirring until sauce is
thick. Add chicken meat and cook, stirring a final 5-10 minutes.
2. Southerners usually serve fricassee over cooked white rice, but it
is also great over baking-powder biscuits with a thin slice of baked
ham placed on each biscuit half before the fricassee is spooned over.

Chicken is ideal
for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
"The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg - not by smashing it." - Arnold Glasow
