Simmered Chicken With Root Vegetables Recipes

SIMMERED CHICKEN WITH ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Remove giblets from the chicken, and season generously with salt. Place in a large pot. Add bay leaves, peppercorns, onion, celery, carrots and turnips (with some of the greens left intact), and potatoes. Fill pot with water until ingredients are 1 inch below the surface, and bring water to a boil.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer, skimming foam from the surface, until chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in dill.
• Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a large serving dish. Carve chicken and arrange with vegetables. Serve immediately, ladling broth over each serving.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH ROOT VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Wash the chicken and pat dry. Poke it with a toothpick all over about 40 times. Season with salt and put in the refrigerator to chill for 8 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Combine melted butter and saffron in a small bowl. Pour over chicken to cover, and season with salt and pepper. Stuff chicken with lemon slices garlic. Tie the chicken legs with kitchen string and tuck legs underneath.
• Lay carrots, fennel, and onion at the bottom of a roasting pan and rest the chicken on top.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Spoon the juices from the chicken over the vegetables. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Continue to roast until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Remove from the oven and cover with aluminum foil; let sit for 15 to 30 minutes before serving to allow the chicken to absorb all the juices.
