Chicken Fricassee Filling:
- 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 cup of mushrooms sliced
- 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of chicken broth
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme
- Salt and pepper
Cake Batter:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 2-3 fresh jalapenos finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
Making the Cakes:
In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk and 2 eggs. Add this to the flour mixture and stir until just mixed.
Fold in the cooled chicken fricassee filling and 2-3 chopped jalapenos. Stir gently to combine.
Heat a pan over medium heat and add a bit of olive oil. Spoon small amounts of batter into the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until they’re golden brown. Flip carefully with a spatula.
Making the Chicken Fricassee Filling:
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan over medium heat. Spread it around to keep things from sticking.
Add 1 chopped onion and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook until the onion is soft, about 3-4 minutes.
Add 1 cup of sliced mushrooms and stir with the onions and garlic. Cook for around 5 minutes.
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of flour over the veggies and mix it in. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
Slowly add 1 cup of chicken broth, stirring as you go. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens up.
Stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 1/4 teaspoon of dried thyme. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until it’s creamy.
Mix in 2 cups of shredded chicken and cook for a few more minutes until it’s heated through. If you like, add 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley.
Take the pan off the heat and let it cool a bit before using.
Tips for Making Chicken Fricassee Cake:
- Use cooked chicken breasts for a tender texture. You can either boil or roast them, depending on your preference.
- Start with medium heat and make sure the butter is spread out evenly in the skillet.
- Sprinkle the flour evenly over the vegetables to avoid any lumps in the sauce.
- Use a skillet and add oil to keep the cakes from sticking. Cook the cakes in batches to ensure they cook evenly.
