Fricassee Chicken Recipe

From MISS FLORIDE CUNINGHAM, of South Carolina, Lady Manager.
Select a good fat hen, one pound of bacon strip, and one dozen whole
black peppers, and boil together until quite done. Take them out of
the pot, and put into the liquid left a pint and a half of rice,
seasoned with a dessertspoonful of salt, boil twenty minutes, drain
from it any of the juice that may remain, and place the pot again on
the range, where the rice cannot burn, but where it will have the
opportunity to dry thoroughly--each grain remaining apart. Keep the
chicken hot and brown the bacon in the oven. When the rice is ready
serve in an open dish, place the chicken on the top and pour over it a
rich sauce of melted butter and hard boiled eggs chopped fine. The
bacon can be sliced very thin and served with lettuce as a course.
