    Preheat oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/circulating air: 175 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Divide garlic bulb into cloves. Peel, wash and cut potatoes into thick slices. Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a large roaster.

    Fry the potato slices briefly in it. Season with salt and pepper. 1⁄8 Pour on l water. Pluck or cut bread into large pieces and place on top. Spread garlic cloves over it. Place the chicken on top and roast in a hot oven for about 30 minutes.

    Then switch the temperature down (electric cooker: 150 °C/circulating air: 125 °C/gas: see manufacturer) and continue cooking for about 50 minutes.

  5. 5

    In the meantime, drain the artichokes and cut the hearts in half or quarters depending on their size. For the vinaigrette, mix lemon juice with mustard, salt and pepper. Fold in 3 tablespoons of oil. Add the artichokes to the chicken about 10 minutes before the end of the frying time.

    Prick a chicken leg with a roasting fork or a sharp knife. If the juice comes out clear, the chicken is cooked. Take it out and cut it into pieces. Cut the breast meat into slices.

    Arrange the chicken with the potato-bread-artichoke mix and drizzle the vinaigrette over it. Green salad tastes good with it.
