Boneless Chicken Stuffed Roast Recipes

BOUDIN STUFFED BONELESS ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Starting from backbone remove all bones except for maybe the tips of the wings. Reserve bones.
• For the chicken stock:
• To a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add about 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil. Once heated, add the vegetables and saute until onions are translucent. Next add the chicken bones and cover with water by about 1 to 2 inches. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once at a boil, reduce the heat and continue to simmer for about 3 to 4 hours, skimming the top as necessary. Next, remove the saucepan from the heat and strain. Either allow the stock to cool down and refrigerate or keep warm until needed.
• For the stuffed chicken:
• Stuff boudin mixture into the chicken and sew back together to reform chicken shape. Place chopped onion in bottom drip pan of a 2 piece roasting pan. Place the chicken, breast-side up, in the roasting pan. Place a small piece of butter under the skin on each chicken breast. Season chicken well with Cajun seasoning and cayenne pepper. Place in oven covered at 375 degrees F for about 45 minutes, then uncover and cook an additional 15 to 30 minutes. Deglaze drip pan with white wine or chicken stock and reduce. Pour into strained chicken stock. In a small bowl combine 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 3 tablespoons cold water and whisk until combined. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the stock mixture and bring to a boil, allowing the sauce to thicken. If the sauce is too thin, add more cornstarch slurry. If it's too thick, add more water. After chicken has rested, top with the gravy and serve with a side of smothered okra, tomatoes and butterbeans, if desired.

WHOLE STUFFED CHICKEN WITH GRAVY

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line a roasting pan with foil and set a rack in the pan.
• Gather the melted and cold butter.
• Using your hands or a brush, rub the chicken with the melted butter.
• Tuck the pieces of cold butter under the chicken's skin along with the optional fresh herbs. Sprinkle the chicken generously with salt and pepper. Set aside while making the stuffing.
• Gather the ingredients.
• Melt the butter in a skillet or sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the chopped onion and celery. Cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and the celery is crisp-tender.
• Add the dried thyme, parsley, and breadcrumbs . Add about 1/3 cup of milk and stir to blend. Taste and season the stuffing with salt and pepper.
• Stir in the beaten egg and enough of the remaining 1/3 cup milk, if needed, one tablespoon at a time to make a moist mixture. Remove from heat.
• Loosely spoon the stuffing into the cavity of the chicken.
• Close the cavity by sewing the loose skin together with toothpicks, or twine. Alternatively, cover the cavity with a piece of foil or a slice of bread.
• Place the chicken, breast-side up, on the rack in the roasting pan.
• Roast the whole chicken in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 45 minutes, basting several times with the pan juices. When done, the internal temperature of the thickest part of the thigh, away from fat and bone must read the minimum safe temperature for consumption of 165 F. The stuffing needs to have the same temperature reading.
• Once cooked thoroughly, remove from the oven and let rest for about 15 minutes.
• Gather the ingredients.
• Skim off the fat from the pan drippings, or use a fat separator. Reserve the fat.
• Add three tablespoons of fat back in the roasting pan, reserving the remaining drippings. Add the flour and stir to make a roux . Cook on the stove, stirring, for two minutes.
• Put the reserved drippings in a 2-cup measuring cup and add enough chicken stock until you have 2 full cups of liquid.
• Gradually stir the chicken stock mixture into the roux mixture. Continue cooking the gravy until thickened, stirring constantly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Carve the chicken and serve with cooked stuffing and pan gravy.

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!
