Description

A recipe for a whole chicken casserole.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole chicken
  • 30g flour
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp pepper
  • 50g butter
  • 120g bacon, coarsely chopped
  • 6 shallots, coarsely chopped
  • 200g mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 carrots, coarsely chopped
  • 1 celery stick, coarsely chopped
  • 4 potatoes, coarsely chopped
  • 600ml chicken stock

Instructions

  1. Cut the whole chicken up into 11 pieces, for a guide on cutting up a whole chicken, see here. We will keep all the pieces of chicken except the backbone, including the 2 legs, 2 thighs, 2 wings and 4 breast pieces. The backbone can be discarded or used for things such as stock another time.
  2. Cover the chicken pieces in flour and salt and pepper. In a large fry pan, heat the butter on a stove over medium heat, add bacon and cook for 1 minute, stirring often, then add chicken pieces and cook for 4 minutes, turning occasionally, or until chicken is golden brown and bacon crisp.
  3. Transfer the bacon and the chicken to a cast iron pot, add shallots, mushrooms, carrots, celery, potato and stock and then bring to the boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Serve.
