Browning the chicken builds a savory foundation, while a restrained simmer lets the potatoes release just enough starch to give the broth body without turning it heavy. Summer savory and bay add the distinctive herbal lift associated with Acadian fricot.
Cool the fricot promptly, then refrigerate it in a covered container for up to 3 days. The potatoes may soften slightly as they sit.
Reheat gently in a saucepan over medium-low heat until steaming throughout and the chicken reaches 74°C/165°F. Add a splash of water or stock if the broth has thickened.
