I had never heard of Bouillon until my daughter, husband and children came to stay with me whilst their new house was being built!
My son in law does all the cooking! I keep saying he should go on one of those television cooking programmes as the food he cooks is absolutely delicious!
Whilst they were here, he made the most delicious chicken stew/casserole. He used chicken thighs which l don't normally eat, as l only like the breast of a chicken!
I asked him for the recipe, which included lots of vegetables, onions, garlic, carrots, celery, mushrooms, a tin of tomatoes, sweet potatoes and this Bouillon. He normally cooks this in a saucepan so that the liquid reduces down.
Bouillon is produced by Mari Gold, Swiss Vegetable powder, instant stock and delicious hot drink! Available in Asda.
I have the casserole in the oven now, l hope it's as nice as the one he made!
No Art- I never have.
I'm going to, now you've posted this though.
I'm always on the look out for new ways of cooking old favourites and would love the recipe for your chicken casserole - ingredients/proportions/time etc

I have never tried that one, but isn't Bouillon just a French name for stock?

Stock is made using bones and meat.
Broth is made using only meat.
Boullion is dehydrated stock..
I often use a low salt cube to cook my carrots ..
I slice the carrots melt a little butter in the pan and toss the carrots in the melted butter then when they are coated add about a pint of stock/ boullion and simmer for about 10-15 mins until tender (depends on the thickness of slices)..

Hi Carol,
When l make a the casserole, l just throw everything in! Any vegetables l have go in!
For this one l used chicken thighs, l used four thighs just for me, or if my daughter called in! I forgot to mention in my OP that l added herbs, fresh Thyme, Oregano and some dried mixed herbs. I fried the onion, garlic and chicken first. I also thickened it with some plain flour after cooking it for one and a half hours in the oven.
The reason my son in law uses the Swiss Bouillon is because my daughter is partially vegetarian!
