Not sure where it went wrong, but mine turned out bland. Maybe I need to add more spices? Idk, but I expected better.
I think adding more spices is a great idea! Sometimes a little extra seasoning can really make a dish pop. Maybe try garlic powder or thyme?
This fricot is sooo good! I made it last night, and my whole family loved it. Definitely a keeper!
Simple recipe, but I think chicken could be cooked more. Seemed a bit underdone. The broth was nice tho.
