For a deeper flavor, consider browning the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as parsnips or turnips, to the cocotte for added heartiness. Leftovers are excellent! The flavors meld together even more overnight. Consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the pot along with the water for extra flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
0 mins
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
02
Step
10 mins
Heat olive oil in a heavy Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chicken pieces, season generously with salt and pepper, and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides (8-10 minutes).
03
Step
5 mins
Add the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and chicken bouillon to the pot, then pour in water. Stir well to combine all ingredients, ensuring the bouillon is dissolving.
04
Step
5 mins
Cover the Dutch oven tightly and bring to a boil on the stovetop.
05
Step
45 mins
Transfer the covered Dutch oven to the preheated oven. Cook until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through, with no pinkness remaining near the bone, and the juices run clear (approximately 45 minutes). For accuracy, an instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
