Finely chop the garlic and cut the carrots into large pieces. Rinse the leeks, shake dry, clean and cut the white and light green parts in 2 cm (approximately 3/4-inch) long pieces. Clean the mushrooms. Heat the clarified butter in a Dutch oven and brown the chicken all over. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Sprinkle with parsley and serve with a fresh baguette.
