How To Make fantastic cassoulet

  • 1
    Salt & pepper chicken ~ both sides.
  • 2
    In a large skillet, over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons oil and brown chicken on both sides for about 5 minutes each - you want a nice color. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • 3
    Add more oil to pan if need be and brown your sausage. Set aside with the chicken.
  • 4
    In same skillet, brown onions and garlic, make sure you stir and don't burn the garlic.
  • 5
    Preheat oven to 300 degree F. In an oven proof dutch oven, add the chicken, then sausage. Add onions & garlic next.
  • 6
    Pour in tomatoes, thyme, chicken stock, rinsed beans and bay leaf. Bring to a boil and then sprinkle with bread crumbs. I just sort of tossed everything gently to get some of the crumbs into the juices. Place a lid over dutch oven and bake for about 1 hr and 45 minutes. Can check it after 1 and 1/2 hours, if the chicken is as tender as you like, go ahead and take from oven. ( I use a cast iron dutch oven, which holds more heat, therefore cooks faster. ) Stir everything together and if not enough juice by all means add a little chicken stock, as it will thicken up as it sets.

    I served mine with couscous and went perfectly together. Enjoy! It's delicious!
