Servings: persons

2 tablespoons plain flour
salt & freshly ground black pepper
4 chicken quarters, halved
2 onions, quartered
4 carrots, thickly sliced
4 celery ribs, thickly sliced
2 ounces butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 ounces light ale (Biere Blonde)
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 bouquet garni, see note
3 tablespoons heavy cream or 3 tablespoons half-and-half

1
Season the flour with salt and black pepper, scatter on a plate and use to coat the chicken pieces. Now heat the butter and oil in a pan ( big enough to hold the chicken and with some depth ) until foaming then add the vegetables and cook gently for 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2
Add the chicken pieces to the pan and brown on all sides (add a little more oil, if necessary).
3
Add the sauteed vegetables, ale, garlic, bouquet garni and season to taste. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 60 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally. Half way through cooking taste broth and adjust seasonings to taste.
4
To serve, transfer the chicken and vegetables to a warmed serving dish. Bring the juices in the casserole to a boil then take off the heat and stir in the cream to thicken. Pour over the chicken pieces and serve.
5
Note.
6
Substitute 1 bay leaf, 1-2 tsp of dried thyme, and some fresh parsley for the bouquet garni, though best with fresh herbs.
