Good to know

Chef's tip

For an even more indulgent touch, you can sprinkle the top of the dish with a little breadcrumbs mixed with chopped fresh parsley before the final cook in the air fryer. This creates a golden, crispy crust, adding extra texture to your reimagined cassoulet.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Freezes very well, up to 3 months in sealed individual portions.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3 to 4 days at most in an airtight container in the fridge.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Flavors improve the next day. It can be fully prepared the day before.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Oven (preferred): 25-30min at 150°C covered, then 10min uncovered. Saucepan: medium heat, stir gently, add broth if needed. Microwave: less even texture.

Variations

Use an air fryer-safe glass or ceramic dish.
Add bay leaf and thyme.
Rinse and drain the white beans.

Mistakes to avoid

Forgetting to turn the chicken: turn it halfway through cooking.
Using the wrong dish: a dish that is compatible with your air fryer.
Not seasoning: season the chicken and sausages generously.
