Guacamole

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). In a large oven-proof pot or Dutch oven, combine the olive oil, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken pieces to the pot, ensuring they are fully submerged in the oil.

Prepare the Chicken

Cover the pot and place it in the preheated oven. Cook for about 2 to 3 hours until the chicken is tender and easily pulled apart. Check occasionally and add more oil if necessary to keep the chicken submerged.

Confit the Chicken

While the chicken is cooking, sauté the chopped chicory in a separate pan over medium heat until wilted and slightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Prepare the Chicory

Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Serve the chicken on a platter, topped with the sautéed chicory, crumbled Valdeon cheese, and pomegranate seeds.
