Chicken Fricasse

I need to get back to some of the things I enjoyed doing. Cooking is NOT one of them, I mean, "everyday cooking". However, once in a while I remember I enjoyed making some special things, specially on the weekends.
I was doing some blog hopping today and came upon this post by Jane from The Art of Teaching and Living {A Art the Educar e de Viver}. I remember I used to make that, so I went and did some googling and found several sites with the recipe. I am including some links below, but here's 2 recipes, in English and in Portuguese. If you ever make the Fricasse, let me know what you think.

Fast Chicken Fricasse - from the site Recipe Land

Fricasse de Frango - no blog da Manu

Fricasse de Frango - no site Tudo Gostoso

BTW, recipeland.com is a very cool site. If you sign up you can add the recipes you like to your virtual "recipe box". Cool! If you want more Fricasse recipes, just type the word fricasse in their search box, there are lots, even a low fat recipe! ;)

I was wondering about this French word, so I paid a visit to my dear Webster and found this:

¹fric·as·see

Variant(s):also fric·as·sée \ˈfri-kə-ˌsē, ˌfri-kə-ˈ\

Function: noun

Etymology:Middle French, from feminine of fricassé, past participle of fricasser to fricassee

Date:1568

: a dish of cut-up pieces of meat (as chicken) or vegetables stewed in stock and served in a white sauce

So, do tell, what's your favourite chicken recipe?


Edited To Add - I took a closer look at the chicken fricasse recipes. The Brazilian recipe is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than the English ones. Nothing can beat "requeijao cremoso" I think this is the one that I am going to make, my problem is where will I find the "requeijao"? Any ideas as to what I can substitute it for? And the "batata palha"?
