Poulet Breton
By Esther Boateng
If casseroles never went out of fashion in your household, you’ll feel right at home with Poulet Breton, a type of casserole you cook in the oven. Take a few pieces of chicken thighs, cider, if you choose to use it, cream, and a dollop of deliciously tangy mustard for extra flavor.
If you prefer to skip the cider, you can swap it out for chicken bone broth and still enjoy a wonderfully tasty meal that goes well with rice or mashed potatoes. Why not go all out with the French cuisine theme and pair it with creamy dauphinoise potatoes?

- 1 carrot, thinly chopped
- 1 leek, thinly sliced (optional)
- 2 medium onions, sliced
-
4 + Tbsp. Dr. Cowan’s Garden A2/A2 Ghee
- 6 chicken thighs
-
Dr. Cowan’s Garden Pepper Salt, to taste
- 1 can of apple cider or approximately 2 cups (optional)
- 2 cups chicken bone broth
- 1-2 Tbsp. Dr. Cowan’s Garden Gluten-Free Flour or arrowroot powder (optional)

- Add 2 tablespoons of ghee, garlic, onions, leek, and carrot to a pan, and sauté for a few minutes until the vegetables are tender. If necessary, add extra ghee or a small amount of bone broth to stop the vegetables from sticking to the pot.
