ROASTED CHICKEN WITH ROOT VEGETABLES



Roasted Chicken with Root Vegetables image

I always wanted to learn to make an excellent roasted chicken at home. I tried to find a recipe that is quick and easy, but in the process, I didn't lose the flavors of the chicken. I could not see any that had a few steps or ingredients. This is a recipe I came up with after trying many different methods. I used to buy a lot of rotisserie chicken, but after I learned this easy chicken dish, I don't think I will ever go back. The chicken turns out to be flavorful and juicy. It can be served with the vegetables as a main dish or use it in other recipes that have chicken in them.

Time 10h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (4 to 6 pound) whole chicken
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 pinch saffron
1 medium lemon, sliced
1 clove garlic, halved
4 large carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 large fennel bulb, cut into thin wedges
1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices

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.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 pounds mixed greens, such as collard, mustard, kale, turnip, chard, or escarole
4 ounces sliced bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
6 scallions, cut into 1/4-inch slices, or 1 cup sliced spring onions
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons cider vinegar, plus more to taste
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Fill a large bowl with cold water. Trim and discard the greens tough stems, tear the leaves into pieces and wash them in the water. (If the greens are very dirty wash them in several changes of water.) Lift the greens from the water, and put them in a colander to drain. Set aside.

Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add the greens in batches, starting with the tougher greens, like kale, and ending with the more tender ones, like chard, stirring each batch as they wilt, before adding more.

Provided by Michel Depardon

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 small zucchini, cut into thin strips
1 small leek (white and pale green parts only), cut into thin strips
4 2-inch-long pieces celery, cut into thin strips
1/2 medium carrot, cut into thin strips
3 garlic cloves, minced
12 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup canned low-salt chicken broth
8 large fresh basil leaves, sliced

Steps:

  • Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper and half of thyme. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sauté 3 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Add zucchini, leek, celery, carrot, garlic and remaining thyme. Sauté until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes. Return chicken to skillet, nestling chicken among vegetables. Pour in broth; bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to platter. Add basil and boil until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; spoon sauce over chicken.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, it's best to use a whole chicken that has been cut into 8 pieces. You can also use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, but be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Brown the chicken well: Browning the chicken is an important step that helps to develop flavor. Be sure to brown the chicken in a hot skillet until it is golden brown on all sides.
  • Use a good quality red wine: The red wine you use in this recipe will have a big impact on the final flavor of the dish. Choose a red wine that you enjoy drinking, but also one that is not too acidic or tannic.
  • Don't boil the wine: When you add the red wine to the pot, be sure to let it simmer gently. Boiling the wine will cause it to lose its flavor and alcohol content.
  • Add the vegetables in stages: The root vegetables and greens in this recipe are added in stages. This helps to ensure that they are all cooked evenly.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season the dish with salt and pepper to taste before serving. You may also want to add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or garlic powder.

Conclusion:

Chicken in red wine sauce with root vegetables and wilted greens is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The rich, flavorful sauce is made with red wine, chicken broth, and a variety of herbs and spices. The root vegetables and greens add a touch of sweetness and earthiness to the dish.
