French Chicken and Butterbean Stew
French Chicken and Butterbean Stew is a high-quality, raw, oven-ready dish designed for butchers who want to offer customers a comforting, French-inspired meal with strong counter appeal. This product delivers bold flavour, excellent moisture retention, and a generous sauce coverage that performs reliably from preparation through to cooking.
Diced chicken breast forms the base of the dish and absorbs flavour quickly and evenly. Verstegen Binding DS locks in moisture and improves yield, helping the chicken stay succulent during cooking. Verstegen Spice Mix for Chicken seasons the meat thoroughly and builds a clean, savoury profile that appeals to a wide customer base. Together, these products give butchers confidence in consistency and eating quality.
Butterbeans and diced white onion add substance and balance. They create a hearty texture that supports the chicken without overwhelming it. Verstegen World Grill French Garden introduces soft herb notes and subtle vegetable character. These flavours reflect classic French cooking while remaining familiar and accessible for customers.
The dish is finished with Verstegen Chasseur Sauce, which delivers a rich, tomato-led base with depth and warmth. The sauce coats the ingredients evenly and creates an indulgent, homestyle finish once cooked. It also helps the product present well in the tray, with strong colour and visible quality.
From a merchandising point of view, this stew works hard in the counter. Plum tomatoes and fresh rosemary add freshness and visual contrast. Verstegen Decoration Blend Rotterdam completes the look and reinforces a handcrafted, premium feel.
French Chicken and Butterbean Stew is easy to prepare, simple to portion, and ideal for batch production. It offers comfort, flavour, and consistency in one dish. For butchers, it’s a dependable, value-adding product that encourages repeat purchase and builds trust with customers looking for quality, ready-to-cook meals.
