Poule au Pot, literally "chicken in a pot," is typical Sunday dinner fare in the French countryside. It's usually cooked using a whole chicken,but tonight I made mine using chicken pieces. This recipe is crazily easy!
So yummy & comforting for the cold winter nights,serve with fresh crusty bread to mop up the leftover soupy goodness.

+ 300g of smoked streaky bacon
+ 5 white onions,peeled & sliced thinly

Top with the rest of the tomato & onions,then the herbs.
Pour wine over the top and season with salt & pepper.
Cover & cook in the oven for one hour.
Remove the lid & cook for another hour.
