  • Recipe type: "meat"
  • Preparation: 20 min
  • Cooking: 1 hour


Ingredients

For 4 persons:
  • 4 chicken pieces
  • 2 young leeks
  • 4 carrots (to avoid if you are on a anti-candida diet)
  • 2 sticks celery cut into rings
  • 2 onion chopped finely
  • 1 turnip
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Salt and pepper
  • Olive oil
  • 1 vegetable broth
  • Water (500 ml to 1L)
  • 1 glass of lemon juice

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, brown the onions and half of the other vegetables gently in two spoons of olive oil.
  • Add chicken pieces to this first vegetable layer.
  • Add remaining vegetables, salt and pepper. Don't mix.
  • Then, mix chicken broth to water and add to the preparation.
  • Cook uncovered for 45 minutes.
  • Arrange chicken on warm serving plate and pour over the sauce with its vegetables.
  • If you want thicker sauce, you could add a little bit of cream mixed with two egg folks... but doing this, you also add more fat to this recipe.

Author's note

Chicken Waterzoi is a very good alternative to red meat if you feel that red meat inflames your skin.
It is a perfect dish for winter time with lots of nutrients. Choose organic chicken and vegetables if possible...

do you drink the lemon juice or add it to the chicken?
