PASSOVER BAKED CHICKEN AND STUFFING



Passover Baked Chicken and Stuffing image

I got this recipe from my sister Sheila, who found it in a local newspaper over 45 years ago. It has been our traditional Passover meal even before our children were born, and everyone expects it now when they come to the Seder. It is delicious and simple. We double and even quadruple it, depending on how many people are expected.

MATZO-STUFFED ROAST CHICKEN FOR PASSOVER



Matzo-Stuffed Roast Chicken for Passover image

Here, dried currants, walnuts, and matzo meal combine to make a rich, savory stuffing for the Passover roast chicken.

Provided by Joyce Goldstein

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 roasting chicken with giblets (about 5 pounds)
4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for rubbing
1 cup matzo meal
1 2/3 cups dry white wine, or as needed
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
2 cups dried currants
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
  • Remove the giblets from the chicken cavity. Warm 2 tablespoons of the oil in a small sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the gizzard and heart and sear well on all sides. Add the liver and cook, turning as needed, for a few minutes longer. Transfer the giblets to a cutting board and chop finely.
  • In a bowl, combine the matzo meal, 1/2 to 2/3 cup wine, the eggs, the walnuts, the currants, and the giblets. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, season with salt and pepper, and mix well
  • Spoon the stuffing into the chicken cavity loosely and sew or skewer closed. Reserve any extra stuffing. Rub the chicken liberally with oil and the lemon juice and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on a rack in a roasting​ pan.
  • Roast the chicken, basting occasionally with the remaining wine and with the pan drippings, until the juices run clear when a thigh is pierced with a knife, about 1 1/2 hours. If you have stuffing that did not fit into the bird, put it in the roasting pan for the last 15 minutes of roasting, where it will cook and take on color.
  • Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and let rest for about 10 minutes. Scoop out the stuffing into a serving bowl and carve the chicken.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-shredded zucchini and carrots.
  • If you don't have matzo meal, you can substitute bread crumbs.
  • To make the dish more flavorful, add some chopped fresh herbs, such as parsley, thyme, or oregano, to the stuffing.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken, or it will become dry. Bake it just until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite Passover side dishes, such as roasted potatoes, green beans, or matzo ball soup.

Conclusion:

Passover zucchini stuffed chicken is a delicious and festive dish that is perfect for the Passover holiday. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are looking for a traditional Passover dish or something new and exciting, this recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
