  • An imaginative cook can often make magic with what ever ingredients they happen to have in their pantry. Jacques Pépin takes a few canned goods and other staples from around his kitchen and transforms it into a hearty chicken and lentil casserole that will serve up to 6 people.
    What You'll Need:
    2 1/2 cups water, 8 oz. dried lentils, 1 cup onion, 3 garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon, 1 can corn kernels, 1 10 oz. can of chicken, 3 green onions, olive oil, salt and pepper, parsley or chives.

    I love how Jacques Pépin shows us dishes and techniques he served President De Gaulle and Eisenhower to just something cheap and easy. I cannot imagine a more humble chef. There is no pretentiousness about canned chicken or microwave which some modern chefs would openly mock and humiliate. Good food belongs to everyone, rich or poor!

He throws a dozen different fancy cheeses in it and at the end he unwraps a slice of American cheese and throws it in with the roquefort, gruyere, etc. Jacques is many things but pretentious is not one of them.

    Jacques it would be understatement to say you didn’t change my life in a big way really. I stumbled on your videos a couple years ago by accident and I found them calming like Bob Ross paint videos and through time I noticed one strange thing about them, you don’t cook anything by recipes; you just open the fridge and make great meals which I start mimicking. now thanks to you not I only don’t go to fast food restaurants I enjoy cooking great meals and live a healthy life style. Love you and wish you many more happy cooking years

      In France, this would be an everyday evening dish. Not too expensive, easy to make, very savory and you can get protein from the chicken and the lentils. All this served with some wine, bread and maybe fruits or cheese for desert. Simple indeed

My partner said she would like a chicken dish when she gets home from work tonight. I think she'll love it! In addition to my home-grown parsley, I'm using my home-grown tarragon, too.

    The market had canned chicken on sale so I bought 6 cans. I love lentil dishes (and garlic) so I think I'll make this recipe, but I'll substitute the corn for either brown rice or pasta shells. The recipe can easily feed 6 persons especially if you have a dinner salad with it. I so love Jacques Pepin's approach to cooking. He makes every dish a masterpiece even if it's a budget meal.

    • @charleslayton9463
      @charleslayton9463 Před 2 lety +3

      It's a good idea to taste the liquid from canned goods before incorporating it. Sometimes it is very salty. Sometimes it isn't the flavor you are looking for. Sometimes you even want to drain and rinse the canned goods before using them. If you can use the liquid, of course, you are getting some of the "good" of the food, e.g., vitamins, as well as flavor.
