1 teaspoon salt

some pepper

approx 0.4 cup chicken bouillon

2 apples

3½ oz smoked ham

1 leek

1.2 cup cream

Rinse and wipe off the chicken. Split the lemon and rub the chicken inside and out with it. Flavor with salt and pepper. Brown the chicken until golden all around in some fat in a pot over medium to high heat. Lower the heat and pour the bouillon in the pot. Braise the chicken, covered, for about 45 to 50 minutes or until cooked through.

Meanwhile, core and dice the apples. Trim and shred the leeks and shred the ham. Sauté apples, leek and ham in some fat. Add cream and chicken fond, bring to a boil and flavor to taste with salt and pepper.

Take up the chicken and cut in 4 pieces. Put them in the apple mix and let the chicken simmer for about 5 minutes. Decorate with some fresh thyme.
