Let's Get Started
- In a large pot, place the chicken and cover with water. Bring to a boil.
- Skim off any impurities that rise to the surface. Add the carrots, leeks, onions, celery, parsnips, bay leaves, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool slightly. Remove the skin and bones, and shred the meat into bite-sized pieces.
- Return the shredded chicken to the pot and simmer for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Serve the Pot au Feu de Volaille hot, with some of the vegetables and broth in each bowl.
