Directions
Poulet Nomade – Nomad’s Chicken – Herb Poached Chicken in a Jar, I found this amazing recipe in a French magazine, (Femme Actuelle) whilst waiting in the doctor’s surgery! It’s such a great idea for portable chicken, hence its name Chicken breasts are poached in a court-bouillon broth with garlic and thyme; the chicken is then mixed with fresh chvre (goat’s cheese) and artichokes and is popped into a kilner jar with a little flavoured oil Eh voila! It is ready to pack into a hamper for a picnic! C’est parfait! Serve this wonderful moist chicken salad mixture with crusty baguette or artisanal bread, using the flavoured oil for dipping and dunking! Can be stored once cooked in the fridge for 1 to 2 days (In the sealed kilner jar ) If you have fresh artichokes available, use them in preference to tinned ones , This is a really good recipe used marinated artichokes but otherwise followed directions No leftover with this recipe! I have now made this several times, it is always fantastic I sometimes use pecans instead of almonds and frequently use dried cranberries but not always , This is a really good recipe used marinated artichokes but otherwise followed directions No leftover with this recipe!
