Paris Butter’s Salted Chicken With Kale and Cassoulet

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 220°C. Line a small oven tray with baking paper.
2. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Add to a medium bowl with Paris Butter salt and olive oil and mix well to coat. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium frypan (preferably non-stick) on medium heat. Cook chicken for about 2 minutes, until golden but not cooked through. Transfer to prepared tray.
3. Place chicken in oven and roast for 20-25 minutes (depending on thickness), until just cooked through. Set chicken aside, covered with foil, to rest for about 5 minutes. Remove and discard remaining skin off the end of the chicken bone.
4. While chicken bakes, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot on medium-high heat. Cook bacon for 3-4 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from pot and set aside on a paper towel. Return pot to same heat with a drizzle of oil and add onion, leek, carrot, garlic and salt.
5. Cover pot with a lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, until tender but not too coloured. Add wine/first measure of broth and cook for about 2 minutes, until almost evaporated. Add second measure of broth, water and bacon, bring to a light simmer and reduce heat to low to cook for about 12 minutes, until reduced by half.
6. Add cannellini beans to cassoulet and cook for about 2 minutes, until warmed through. Add baby kale and butter and fold through until thick and glossy. Remove from heat, season and set aside, covered to keep warm. Add jus (this can be store-bought ready-made, or click here for Luke Nguyen's recipe on Cooked.com) to a small pot on low heat and heat for 1-2 minutes, until just warmed through.
7. Divide cassoulet between plates, top with Paris Butter salted chicken and spoon over hot chicken jus. Finish with shaved fresh truffle if you desire.
