Pot Roast Chicken D V O Recipes

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.)

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.

SPRING ONE-POT ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Remove any string from the chicken and sit in a large roasting tin or a baking dish, with plenty of space around it.
• Mash 2 tbsp of the mascarpone with the lemon zest, 1 tbsp of the tarragon and some seasoning. Slip your hand beneath the chicken skin to pull it away from the meat, then spread the mixture beneath the skin in a thin layer. Spoon another 3 tbsp mascarpone into the cavity of the chicken, to melt in with the roasting juices and enrich the sauce later on. Rub 2 tbsp olive oil into the skin, season well with sea salt, then loosely tie the legs together with butcher's string. Roast for 20 mins.
• Aarrange the potatoes and the garlic around the chicken, drizzle over another 1 tbsp oil and cook for another 30 mins.
• Toss the radishes and whole spring onions into the dish, in and around the potatoes, coating everything in the fat, then roast for another 25 mins. The potatoes and radishes will be golden and tender, and the chicken should be cooked through. Remove the chicken from the tin, cover loosely with foil and leave to rest.
• Pour off or spoon away the excess oil from the tin. Stir the remaining mascarpone (about 150g) with the stock in a jug until lump-free, then pour into the tin and bubble on the hob for few minutes, stirring to coat the potatoes and veg. Squeeze over some lemon juice and season.
• Stir in the peas, spring greens and most of the remaining tarragon, and bubble for a few more minutes until bright green. Sit the chicken back in the middle of the tin to serve and scatter over the reserved tarragon.

ONE-POT CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine butternut squash, potatoes, carrot, 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon pepper seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl; toss to combine. Transfer vegetables to a baking sheet.
• Toss chicken breasts in the same bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, remaining salt, and Caribbean seasoning until coated. Add to baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center, juices run clear, and vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

POT-ROAST BOMBAY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 6. Put the chicken on a chopping board and, using your hands, rub the skin generously with half the spice paste. Season well, tie the legs together and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish over a medium heat. Add the onion and a good pinch of salt and cook for 5 mins or until beginning to soften. Add the tomatoes, fenugreek seeds, ginger and remaining spice paste, and cook for 3 mins more. Stir through the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken and the potatoes to the dish, and cook in the oven for 20 mins, uncovered.
• Lower the heat to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 and cook for 55 mins more. Check that the meat is cooked by cutting through one of its legs - the flesh shouldn't be pink.
• Remove the chicken and place on a chopping board. Stir the spinach through the sauce and leave to rest for 5 mins. Put the chicken back in the dish, top with the coriander and carve at the table. Serve with poppadums and chutney, if you like.

POT ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a roasting pan, heat the oil and sauté onions, celery, carrots, rosemary, thyme, parsley, sage, oregano, pepper and salt over medium heat for 5-8 minutes. Remove vegetables with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving drippings in the pot. Rinse chicken in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place in pot and brown on all sides. Place chicken on its back in the pot. Dump in the sautéed vegetables and herbs. Add the washed potatoes and pour chicken broth over all. Cover the roasting pan. Bake at 400 F. for 1-1/2 hours. Remove tender chicken to a platter and cut into serving pieces. Place vegetables and herbs around the platter. Cover to keep warm. Whisk flour into the water until smooth. Stir into the drippings in the roasting pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until boils and thickens into gravy. Strain, if desired, to remove lumps. Serve over chicken and vegetables.
