Chicken Pot Roast Food

POT-ROAST CHICKEN WITH STOCK

Steps:

• Heat oven to 170C/150C fan/gas 5. Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish and brown the chicken well on all sides, then sit it breast-side up. Pack in the onions, thyme, garlic and peppercorns, pour over the wine and stock, and bring to the boil. Pop on the lid and transfer to the oven for 2 hrs.
• Remove and rest for 20 mins. Carefully lift the chicken onto a chopping board and carve as much as you need. Serve the carved chicken in a shallow bowl with the onions and some of the stock poured over. Serve with some usual Sunday veg and roast potatoes.
• Strain the leftover stock into a bowl and strip the carcass of all the chicken. Chill both for up to three days or freeze for up to a month to use for other recipes like our one-pot chicken noodle soup.

CHICKEN POT ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°, and prepare a large Dutch oven or oven-safe pot.
• Add the quartered potatoes, carrots, parsnips, fennel, onion and garlic to a large bowl, drizzle with a good splash of olive oil, and sprinkle with a couple of good pinches of salt and pepper, and about half of the Herbes de Provence; toss to coat, and scatter on the bottom of the pot.
• Next, pour the chicken stock/broth and the wine over the veggies.
• Place the chicken in front of you on a work surface, and drizzle it with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, rubbing it into the skin; next, season all sides of the bird and the cavity with a total of about 2-3 teaspoons of the sea salt and about 1 teaspoon of black pepper (you need to season this much meat quite liberally), then sprinkle over the rest of the Herbes de Provence.
• Tuck the wing tips behind the chicken, and simply tie the legs together with some kitchen twine to help keep the chicken more "together" as it roasts; then, insert a digital thermometer into the thickest part of the breast horizontally, taking care not to touch the bone.
• Place the chicken, breast-side up, on top of the vegetables, and place the pot into the oven (uncovered), and roast until the temperature registers 165° (roughly 1 ½ hours, depending on the size of your chicken).
• Once roasted, using tongs or two spoons, carefully tip the chicken forward so that any accumulated juices run out of the cavity and onto the veggies, then allow the chicken to rest for about 15-20 minutes.
• Once rested, sprinkle the herbs over top and serve, cutting slices of chicken and enjoying spoonfuls of veggies in sauce alongside. (I'll usually lift the chicken out of the pot and set it on a board for a moment, and give the veggies a little stir to incorporate them with the juices; then, I return the chicken back on top of the veggies and serve.)

CHICKEN POT ROAST

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
• 2. Melt the butter with the oil in a large, heavy ovenproof casserole over medium heat. Brown the chicken in batches, about 8 minutes per batch, being careful not to pierce the skin. Remove to a plate.
• 3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the carrots, onion, garlic, and tarragon; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Return the chicken and any juices to the casserole, arranging the pieces atop the vegetables. Cover and bake in the oven for 1 hour, basting occasionally. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

CROCK POT ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken well and pat dry; remove any excess fat.
• In a skillet, melt ¼ cup butter; sauté the onion, celery, and mushrooms until tender.
• Toss in the stuffing mix, 2 tablespoons parsley flakes, sage, pepper and broth.
• Stir until the stuffing is thoroughly moistened.
• Loosely stuff the chicken with the dressing.
• If you like, truss the chicken to keep its shape.
• Put the remaining dressing in a lightly oiled crock pot.
• Place the chicken on top of the dressing.
• Rub the chicken breast with 1 teaspoon butter; sprinkle with paprika and parsley flakes.
• Cover and cook on low setting for 8 to 10 hours.

ROAST CHICKEN IN THE CROCK POT

Steps:

• Crumple three pieces of aluminum foil and place in the middle of your slow cooker.
• Add wine, garlic, onion, celery and carrot.
• Place chicken on top of aluminum foil. (You may have to push the chicken down a bit so it'll all fit in there!).
• Sprinkle chicken with herbs, salt and pepper.
• Set slow cooker to high and cook for 1/2 hour per pound.
• When ready, stick a meat thermometer into leg to ensure it is done. Transfer chicken to a roasting pan and set oven to 500º Fahrenheit.
• Roast for 8-10 minutes, or until skin is golden brown.
• Serve with roast root vegetables, mashed potatoes, or anything else you'd like!
• The best part of this recipe? After your done cooking everything, you'll have a considerable amount of jus left over from the chicken. Whisk it with some cornstarch for a truly delicious gravy, or save it in your fridge or freezer for at-the-ready soup stock when you need it in a pinch. (It's so much better than bouillon.).

SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN POT ROAST DINNER

Steps:

• Spray 3- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In cooker, place potatoes, carrots and thawed onions. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; place over vegetables in cooker. Pour gravy over top.
• Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 to 10 hours.
• Stir in thawed peas. Increase heat setting to High. Cover; cook about 15 minutes longer or until peas are tender.

ONE-POT SPICED ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. If you're making the spice mix, combine all the ingredients and set aside. For the sauce, tip the onion, garlic, chilli and ginger into a food processor and blitz until smooth. Heat the oil and ghee or butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat and fry the spiced onion purée with a pinch of salt for 12 mins. Add 2 tbsp of the spice mix, turn up the heat to high and cook for 1 min. Tip in the tomatoes, sugar and 250ml water. Bring to a simmer. Season well with salt and turn off the heat.
• To prepare the chicken, put the remaining spice mix in a bowl with 1 tsp sea salt and the ghee or butter, and mash together. Push two-thirds of the spiced butter beneath the skin of the chicken breasts, then rub the rest over the outside of the breasts and legs. Season the chicken skin with 1 tsp sea salt and tie the legs together. Sit the chicken in a 28-30cm pan, shallow casserole or roasting tin and pour the sauce around the bird. Cover the chicken with foil and roast for 40 mins, then remove the foil and roast for another 30-40 mins, or until cooked through (when you cut into one of the legs, the juices should run clear). Stir the double cream into the sauce. Taste for seasoning and leave to rest, uncovered, for 10 mins.
• Make the chutney by blitzing all the ingredients together in a food processor until coarse. Season to taste.
• Top the chicken with some extra sliced chillies and coriander leaves, then serve with the chutney, pilau rice and naan, if you like.
