Granny didn't make Chicken Fricasee, but she made a Chicken Pie that was to die for. You yanks call it "empanada". This is a granny's version with a deep south twist:
.

Granny's Homemade Chicken Pie

Ingredients - 2 large Chickens...dead
2 tbsp real butter
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tbsp parsley
1/4 cup tomatoe sauce
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
Milk - fresh from cow if poss.
3 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 cup finely minced onion
1/4 cup chopped parsley
4 egg yolks, lightly beaten (sorry TLC, insult to injury)

De-bone and skin chicken (the fun part). You need about 2 1/2 pounds of meat. Brown meat in butter in skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add 1/4 cup onion, 2 tbs parsley, tomatoe sause and vinegar. Simmer, and cover for 20 mins, (just enough time to clean up the bloody mess at the wood pile). Cool and drain, reserving broth. Cut chicken into bite size pieces. Skim and strain broth. Combine enough milk and broth to measure 2 1/2 cups liquid. Blend broth mixture with cornstarch in large saucepan. Cook until thickened. Stir a small amount of hot mixture into egg yolks; stir egg yolks into hot mixture. Stir in remaining onion, parsley and chicken. For a true red neck taste, add 1 1/2 tsp lousiana hot sauce.

Take this dish and stuff it in a HOMEMADE 10 inch pie shell and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes. Serve this with fresh cornbread and peas and youll know what eatin is.

Geez, Im reduced to posting recipes on a flame thread. Lee, this here ones a winner. Try it.......Reb

Taxi--I have six Chicken Fricasee recipes.
Here is one.
Igrediants: One roaster chicken [if you are dealing with a 12 footer just take about 4 pounds of meat], 2 tsp oil, 2 celery stalks sliced, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp pepper, 1 tsp sage, 2 c. water, 2 carrots halved, 2 med potatoes, quartered, 2 med onions quartered, 1 8oz pk of noodles, 1/4 cup flour.

Wash and dry chicken pieces. Brown the chicken in hot oil until golden brown. Add celery, salt, pepper, and sage. Saute for about 3 minutes stirring. Add two cups of water, cover and bring to a boil and allow to simmer for 30 minutes. Add carrots and cook for 10 minutes. Add potatoes and onions and simmere covered for 15 minutes until done. Coat noodles in salted water, drain, and keep hot. Mix 1/4 cup water and flour until smooth. Add 1/2 cup broth from chicken. Blend well then stir into chicken pot. Bring to a boil, stirring well. Reduce heat and add cooked noodles. Simmer 5 minutes until heated though.
Add 1 teaspoon of chicken bouillion to the two cups of water to enhance the chicken flavor if you like.
TLC--BamaReb was a enough of a Southern gentleman to apologize for aspects of the recipe he posted. Good luck on getting one out of me.
