This French Chicken Casserole is going to be your new seasonal favourite. Chicken thighs and legs slowly braised in apple cider and served with fried apple wedges are as scrumptious as it sounds.
Chicken casserole is an incredibly general term and basically means chicken cooked slowly in the oven until tender. A good casserole is always what I go to when I want a true comfort food for dinner.
What you add to that chicken will make all the difference, and in my case I went with a French recipe for Chicken a la Normande. In this recipe chicken thighs and legs are slowly braised in a dry apple cider. Can you just imagine the aroma that is going to fill your house?!
