Chicken Fricassee

So I've been bad about updating, and honestly since the wedding not a whole whole lot of cooking.  Been super lazy.  Precooked frozen shit and all.  

So this was pretty easy, and QUITE tasty.  I also did roasted carrots as a side (will add an entry with several sides next).  Great meal.
