Into a big pot … whole peeled shallots (French), chopped carrots, a whole finely sliced leek with skinless, boneless chicken thighs (whole) a few fresh bay leaves and a bouquet-garni of fresh herbs (I used tarragon, oregano and rosemary in a paper tea bag hung from the side of the pot!), turmeric, fresh crushed garlic and fresh ground black pepper

Barely cover with water and simmer till the chicken falls apart and add chopped fresh parsley to serve

That was it … simply amazing … add chilli or extra pepper if you feel you need more va va voom
