"This great Cheat's recipe has all the elements of a traditional French Cassoulet - assorted meats, beans, carrots, tomatoes, wine & tomatoes - but is very easy & does not include Confit d'Canard if you find that difficult to obtain.

"A wonderful and very elegant dinner party dish, and one that will impress your family and friends! These little parcels can be made ahead of time and frozen uncooked.

"A hearty warm supper, one of many versions of cassoulet. Remove the skin of the chicken or not, depending on your preference (for this particular recipe I personally favor leaving the skin on, which is unusual for me).
