Préparation

1

Preheat your oven to 180°C.

2

In your cast iron casserole, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

3

Season the whole chicken with salt and pepper, then brown it on all sides in the casserole.

4

Add the minced onion and crushed garlic to the casserole, and sauté until translucent.

5

Put the chicken back in the casserole, add the bouquet garni and the lemon. Pour the chicken broth around the chicken.

6

Cover the casserole and place it in the preheated oven. Cook for about 1h30, basting the chicken occasionally with the cooking juice.

7

About 20 minutes before the end of cooking, add the morels to the casserole so they cook gently with the chicken and absorb all the flavors.

8

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the casserole and let it rest for a few minutes before carving.

9

Serve the chicken with the morels and the confit onions, accompanied by roasted potatoes or seasonal vegetables.
