Letitia (Letty)
Greene Wambaugh’s “Secret Ingredient” Chicken Fricasse
Letitia Louise Elizabeth Greene Wambaugh – Living
Relationship – Me, myself and I (nickname Letty)
Ingredients:
One whole fryer chicken cut up
Water
Celery – 1 cup or more diced
Chicken broth in can or package
Rice – 1- 1 ½ cups – fast rice or regular
Carrot – chopped in small pieces
Lipton Dry Chicken Noodle Soup – spice ball in package only
Salt/pepper to taste
Wash chicken, put in large lidded soup pan with celery and enough water to cover completely. Bring to boil and then simmer for 3-4 hrs. Add liquid either chicken broth or water to keep covered. When the chicken falls off the bones, take out the chicken and cool. Strain the broth to another pan with a strainer. After chicken has cooled, take about 2 cups of the chicken broken up in small pieces back into the strained broth. Add diced carrots. Open 2 packages of Lipton’s Chicken Noodle Soup and let everything fall out of the bag into a separate bowl. Take the flavor packet (a yellowy glob) from both packages and break it into the broth. Let this simmer for awhile until the soup packets dissolve adequately. My mother called this the “secret ingredient.” Then bring to boil and add (depending on the amount of broth) 1 to 1 ½ cups of rice. There should be a minimum of sauce. The dish should be thick with some broth. I use chicken broth to add if not enough. Cook until done. This freezes well into small portions and makes a nice dish on a cold day!
