GEORGIAN STUFFED CHICKEN



Georgian Stuffed Chicken image

This recipe was inspired by the cuisine of Georgia, on the Black Sea. The stuffing is a simple affair of rice cooked with onions, garlic and dried sour cherries. Parsley is forked through before spooning the rice into the chickens. And yes, chickens: I take the view that one bird is a meal, two is a feast.

Provided by Nigella Lawson

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 2h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 5-pound chickens
6 tablespoons butter
2 onions, peeled and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup basmati rice
1/2 cup dried sour cherries, roughly chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Remove any fat from cavities of chickens, and place fat in a wide saucepan. Add 4 tablespoons of the butter and place over medium heat. When butter melts, add onions and garlic. Sauté until onion softens and begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Discard any remaining hard bits of chicken fat. Add rice and chopped cherries to pan. Stir well, and add 2 cups water and salt to taste. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat to as low as possible. Cook for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Season rice mixture with salt and pepper to taste and stir in parsley. Spoon rice into cavities of both chickens. Use kitchen twine to tie legs together tightly so stuffing is secure.
  • Place chickens in a roasting pan and rub with remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Place in oven and roast until skin is crisp and golden and juices run clear when pierced near the thigh with a knife, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Allow chicken to rest before carving. Serve each portion of chicken with some stuffing.

Here's what you need: boneless, skinless chicken breast, flour, eggs, seasoned breadcrumb, oil, large baguette, mozzarella cheese, marinara sauce, butter, garlic, fresh parsley, grated parmesan cheese

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 cups flour
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups seasoned breadcrumb
1 cup oil, for frying
1 large baguette
10 slices mozzarella cheese
marinara sauce
⅓ cup butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Slice the chicken breast into ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) thick strips.

  • Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180˚C).
  • Fry the breaded chicken strips until both sides are golden brown.
  • Remove from heat and drain on a paper towel.
  • Slice the baguette into thirds or fourths (each baguette piece should be roughly the same length of the fried chicken strips).
  • Hollow out the insides of the baguette pieces with a knife.
  • Lay two slices of mozzarella on top of each other with a 1 inch (2 ½ cm) overlap. Place a chicken strip on the overlapping region, then fold the mozzarella tightly around the chicken.
  • Push the rolled chicken strips into a baguette piece.
  • Slice the stuffed baguette pieces into 1 inch (2 ½ cm) slices, then place them tightly side-by-side on a baking sheet lined with foil.
  • In a small bowl, mix together ingredients for garlic butter.
  • Brush the garlic butter evenly over the baguette slices, making sure some drips in between the slices.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are best for this recipe. They should be about the same size so that they cook evenly.
  • Butterfly the chicken breasts. This will help them cook more evenly and will also make it easier to stuff them.
  • Make sure the crab stuffing is well-seasoned. The stuffing is the star of this dish, so make sure it's flavorful. Use a variety of herbs and spices, and don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your own taste.
  • Cook the chicken breasts until they are cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken breasts rest before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Garlic Crab Stuffed Chicken is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The tender chicken breasts are stuffed with a flavorful crab stuffing and then baked to perfection. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is sure to satisfy their taste buds.
