Boneless Roast Chicken Stuffed With Pork Food

BONELESS CHICKEN STUFFED ROAST

Steps:

• 1. Pat dry a whole chicken. Note: this method can be done with any bird at all. Think of this game changer for your Holiday turkeys!
• 2. Pepin can show you how easy it is here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku5p1CcGn70
• 3. After the bird is boneless, sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
• 4. Stuff the bird with your favorite stuffing. I LOVE Freda's stuffing! (Just like Grandmas) ;)https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/chicken/moms-classic-stuffing-by-freda.html?p=7
• 5. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. While you wait, it is a good time to tie up your bird with the stuffing inside.
• 6. I also put about 1/4 cup butter in a large frying pan, get it hot and brown the bird for color and flavor. SAVE the juices in the pan! You will make a pan gravy with this later. Then put it in a roasting pan along with potatoes, carrots and onion. The amount is up to you.
• 7. Roast your bird until internal temp reaches 160 degrees. Take the temp near a meaty area in both the thigh and a breast.
• 8. Let the bird rest on your cutting board while you make the pan gravy. Reserve the vegetables in a bowl to serve along side of the meat.
• 9. FOR PAN GRAVY: Take the pan you browned the bird in and add a cup of chicken stock and about 1/4 to 1/2 cup Sherry. Whisk to release the fond (brown bits) on the pan. This is where the flavor is! Let it reduce just a bit, and in a small glass jar or bowl, add about 2 Tablespoons corn starch and a little water. Mix until it is liquid. Add this SLOWLY to your pan gravy and whisk constantly. You can also add a bit of browning sauce if you would like a bit more color if the fond is too blonde for you. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• 10. By the time the pan gravy is done, the bird can be carved into beautiful slices exposing the stuffing and chicken meat. Completely void of bones!
• 11. Pour pan gravy over individual slices of the stuffed roast. Enjoy!

BONELESS ROAST CHICKEN STUFFED WITH PORK

Steps:

• 1. Wipe chicken with a damp cloth. Place in a heavy saucepan with cold water. Bring to a boil then simmer, covered, 30 minutes. 2. Drain, reserving liquid for stock. Let bird cool slightly then bone. 3. Mince or grind pork mince scallions and ginger root, then combine with cornstarch, soy sauce, sherry, salt, sugar and remaining water. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 400 degrees. 4. Stuff chicken with pork mixture then sew up securely or skewer. Place in a roasting pan with oil and remaining soy sauce. 5. Roast chicken, basting frequently until cooked through and tender (about 30 minutes). Cut through stuffing in 1/2-inch slices and serve.

STUFFED PORK LOIN WITH CHERRIES (4 INGREDIENTS)

Steps:

• You may brine the roast if desired to increase the tenderness of the roast - instructions are included at the end.
• You'll be slicing the roast so that you create a large rectangle. Start by slicing the roast lengthwise, cutting to - but not through - the opposite side. Spread roast in half, then slice down both halves, to but not through the opposite side, so you now have four long rectangular sections. Use a mallet to pound the roast so that you form one large flattened rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
• Prepare stuffing. Melt butter in a large glass bowl. Stir in stuffing mix, and then add about HALF the can of cherry pie filling (I try to get most of the cherries and not so much of the "gel"). Discard remaining cherry pie filling.
• Assembly: spread stuffing mixture evenly over pork. Beginning at a long side, roll up pork, jellyroll fashion, and tie securely with string at 2 inch intervals.
• Bake on a greased rack at 325 degrees for about 1 hours and 30 minutes, or until meat thermometer registers 155 degrees at the thickest part (test a couple areas and don't get stuck in the stuffing, which doesn't get as hot as the pork).
• I often put quartered carrots, turnips and onions in the bottom of the roasting pan, which will be nice and tender when the roast is done.
• Remove from oven. Allow to sit 10 minutes before carving.
• Optional: brine pork for 1 day to increase tenderness and juicy-ness. To brine the pork, dissolve 1/2 cup salt in 1 gallon water; cool completely. Then immerse pork roast in the brine liquid and keep in your refrigerator for 24 hours. Remove from brine; rinse thoroughly before proceeding with recipe.
