Boneless Chicken Stuffed Roast Recipes

STUFFED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH ROASTED POTATOES AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; grease with cooking spray.
• Spread chicken thighs open on a flat work surface. Pound to an even thickness with the flat side of a meat mallet. Season with salt and pepper.
• Beat egg with a fork in large bowl. Stir in 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, onion, tomato, and black olives. Mix in enough bread crumbs to bind the filling together.
• Put a spoonful of the filling in the center of each chicken thigh. Fold chicken over filling, tucking in any loose ends. Secure chicken thighs with toothpicks; arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese over chicken thighs.
• Arrange potatoes and carrots around chicken thighs. Drizzle olive oil over vegetables; season with salt and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken juices run clear and vegetables are tender, 35 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

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!
