celery stick finely diced
1
carrot cut into 5 mm dice
1
salt-free chicken or vegetable stock or water
600 ml
garlic cloves

Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large flameproof casserole dish or heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the sliced fennel and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Add the diced celery, carrot, and chopped garlic to the pan. Sauté for 1 minute, then sprinkle the buckwheat or brown rice flour over the vegetables, stirring well to coat them.

Pour in the salt-free stock (or water) and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add the chicken thighs and cook for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked through.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Use a slotted spoon to remove the chicken from the broth and set it aside to cool slightly.

Continue to simmer the remaining broth until it has thickened into a sauce. Meanwhile, remove any bones from the chicken and shred the meat into small, bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the thickened broth.
