Poule au pot

Tradition has it that King Henry IV, anxious for the welfare of his least subjects, has repeatedly said: "If God gives me life again, I will make that there will be no plowman in my Kingdom, which can have a hen in her pot. The chicken in the pot is a dish belonging to the French gastronomic tradition. It consists of accompanying a hen stuffed with vegetables (carrots, turnips, leeks, onions, cloves) and beef, and bring everything to a boil, then simmer in the manner of a stew.

  • You can keep the broth 2 days in the refrigerator and for domestic purposes you can freeze it and keep it between 3 and 6 months.
  • Note that the common "broth" will take the Noble name of "white poultry background" at the end of cooking.
