i am also an acadian and have made a similiar recipe many times i however usually cook mine longer at least 2 hours so everything blends together i dont use summer savory i find the taste too bland instead i use a little garlicpowder and dried parsley.also salted herbs are very nice to add.this recipe is excellent with beef simply brown as told and let cook the longer you cook the softer it is.thanks for keeping the acadian food alive sophie Read More

I have loved fricot ever since my Acadian Nana served it. But Nana made it with the turkey leftovers after every Thanksgiving and Christmas (and so do I). I throw the leftover Turkey the gravy and even some stuffing in to make the broth. I also use salt pork at the start and add salted scallions at the end for flavor. There is nothing bland about this dish! PS She also made wild strawberry jam!!!! Delicious. Read More

Very good. I skinned the chicken before browning substituted seasoned garlic salt and dried parsley for summer savory and chicken broth in place of water. Also thickened up the broth with a flour/water paste before serving. Tasty. Read More

I'm wondering at what point is the summer savory added to the recipe. There is no instruction for this step in the recipe cooking instructions. Read More

This is a great recipe. I've made it exactly as written I've made it with the suggested modifications and I've made it with my own modifications. I like it best with a few cloves of garlic minced and cooked in with the onions and chicken using herbes de provence for the spice cooking it with broth for 2 hours and adding in a bit of flour at the end to thicken it. A rich delicious stew that's definitely greater than the sum of it's parts! Read More

This recipe was very yummy but I ended up using a lot of spices to make it not too bland. Also it may be a good idea to thicken this stew with some roux. Read More
