CHICKEN CASSOULET
I have seen many recipes for cassoulet made several ways. It is a homecooked French dish that is very hearty. This recipe is simplified from traditional Cassoulet which usually has rabbit or pork with sausage and beans in it. It's basic ingredients simply prepared that taste delicious. I hope you enjoy it.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat multicook pressure cooker using the browning feature. (You can use a dutch oven on your stove top if you prefer) Add 2T olive oil. Meanwhile, clean chicken pieces and drizzle 1T olive oil over the chicken. Season with italian seasoning, thyme, salt and pepper.
- 2. Place chicken into preheated pressure cooker or large dutch oven with 2T olive oil skin side down (you may remove skin for a healthier version). Brown the seasoned chicken pieces for 5-7 minutes on all sides and remove from the pan.
- 3. While you are browing chicken pieces dice the onion, bell pepper, carrots and fresh tomatoes. Slowly add the onion, bell pepper and carrots cooking for 2-3 minutes so that the veggies are opaque. Then add the peeled and smashed garlic cloves.
- 4. Deglaze the pan by adding the chardonnay wine (you may substitued this with low sodium chicken or vegetable stock). Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
- 5. Reintroduce the browned chicken pieces to the beans, veggies and sauce mixture. Be sure to push the chicken into the sauce. You may also debone the chicken in this step if you like.
- 6. If you are using a pressure cooker change the setting to 15psi. Secure the lid closed and set the time for 35 minutes.
- 7. If you are using a dutch oven you can keep the heat on medium low for 1 hour simmering until liquid is somewhat cooked into the beans. You can finish this off in the oven with the lid off for 30 more minutes which will concentrate the flavor and thicken the sauce.
- 8. Prior to serving this dish you may add add breadcrumbs that I browned on the stovetop with a drizzle of olive oil and butter. This thickens the beans and broth to a stew like consistency.
HAM CHICKEN CASSEROLE
I am retired and always looking for fast-to-fix foods to serve when my children or grandchildren stop by. Leftover chicken, ham and a wild rice mix make this comforting dish quick to assemble. If you have extra turkey, you can use it instead of the chicken. -Lovetta Breshears Nixa, Missouri

EASY FRENCH CASSOULET WITH WINE, BEANS, SAUSAGE, HAM AND HERBS
This cassoulet is a wonderful and EASY one-pan variation of the French classic! Great, warming comfort food that takes the chill off in the colder months. Very hearty and welcoming to come home to after a winter's walk or some sledding fun! Serve the steaming cassoulet in bowls accompanied with a baguette or corn bread, a tossed salad, and a nice glass of cider or wine. ENJOY! Notes: Chopped kielbasa will work in place of the bulk pork sausage, and ground allspice in place of the cloves. Also dry white vermouth in place of dry white wine, is good. Can be baked in a 2-quart size casserole dish (deep rather than shallow), if you do not have a Dutch oven.

CHEF JOHN'S QUICK CASSOULET
We've taken some short cuts to make a quick version of the French classic, cassoulet. Chicken thighs replace the classic, and time-consuming, duck confit; canned beans replace dried; and bacon serves as a convenient substitute for other, more involved smoked pork options.

Press the garlic (about 1 T plus 1 t) into the bowl. Rinse and drain the beans then mash 1 C of the beans into a separate small bowl with a fork.Set the rest of the whole beans aside.

I am married to a chef, but I can't cook. So I make a lot of food in my slow cooker when it's my night to cook. We love France and French cooking, and this recipe is a wonderfully simple, elegant cassoulet that even I can make and he loves. Wonderful for cold nights and dinner parties. Double the recipe for leftovers - it melds overnight very well.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cassoulet. Look for fresh, organic chicken and ham, and use a flavorful broth.
- Don't skimp on the beans. Cassoulet is a bean dish, so make sure you use plenty of them. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 pound of beans per pound of meat.
- Soak the beans overnight before cooking them. This will help them to cook more evenly and will also reduce the cooking time.
- Use a variety of beans. This will add flavor and texture to your cassoulet. Try using a mix of white beans, kidney beans, and black beans.
- Cook the cassoulet slowly and low. This will allow the flavors to develop and will also prevent the beans from becoming mushy.
- Serve the cassoulet with a side of crusty bread. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Chicken and ham cassoulet is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a winter meal. It is relatively easy to make, but it does take some time. If you are looking for a dish that will impress your guests, chicken and ham cassoulet is a great option.
