1. Preheat oven to 180°C Heat olive oil in a large frying pan and brown the chicken in batches. Transfer chicken pieces to a large casserole dish. 2. Tip out any excess fat from the pan, add butter and quickly brown the shallots for 2 to 3 minutes. Turn down the heat, add celery and apple, and cook for a couple of minutes, then add the garlic and the apple cider. 3. Transfer the mixture to the casserole dish and add enough stock to come halfway up the chicken. Stir in the cornflour mixture, herbs and bay leaf, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and bake for 1 hour. 4. Allow the casserole to cool before freezing in a sealed plastic container. Prior to serving, thaw completely in the refrigerator, then heat until boiling. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
