This stuffing, with its pleasant herb flavor, is a nice change of pace from traditional bread stuffing. The crunch comes from sunflower kernels. (Leftovers would be great in the Chicken Jambalaya recipe above.)

ROAST CHICKEN WITH RICE AND WHEAT BREAD STUFFING



Roast Chicken With Rice and Wheat Bread Stuffing image

I've been making all different kinds of stuffing over the years and decided to mix two of my favorites with great results. Hope you like this as much as my family does. I cook the rice in chicken broth and a half stick of butter. I also use finely ground sea salt but regular table salt works just as well.

Roast Chicken with Wild Rice Dressing image

This wild rice dressing is lighter than a bread-based version and packed with earthy fried fruit. A fruit preserve and cider vinegar glaze on the roast chicken makes the skin extra crispy and flavorful.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

One 5- to 6-pound chicken, giblets removed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 medium yellow onion, halved
2 tablespoons orange marmalade or apricot preserves
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
3/4 cup wild rice
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for greasing the baking dish
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup mixed dried fruit, such as pitted prunes and apricots, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/2 baguette (4 ounces), preferably day-old or lightly toasted, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 2/3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • For the roast chicken: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pat the chicken dry and place breast-side up in a large roasting pan fitted with a wire rack. Mix together the olive oil, marjoram, smoked paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Gently loosen the skin over the breast of the chicken and rub a little of the mixute under the skin. Rub the remainder of the mixture all over the outside and inside of the chicken. Put the halved onion inside the chicken cavity and tie the legs together with butcher's twine. Tuck the wings underneath the chicken.
  • Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh not touching bone registers 165 degrees F, or until the juices run clear when the tip of a knife is inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours, basting the chicken with pan juices a few times during the last hour of roasting.
  • Mix the marmalade and vinegar together and brush over the chicken. Roast for an additional 5 minutes to set the glaze. Let the chicken rest for 30 minutes.
  • For the wild rice dressing: While the chicken roasts, make the dressing. Cook the rice according to package directions, drain off any excess water, if necessary, and transfer to a large bowl. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the onions, celery and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables are tender, about 7 minutes. Add the dried fruit, marjoram, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Cook until the fruit softens, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and add to the bowl with the wild rice. Add the bread cubes and toss to combine. Add the chicken broth, parsley and 3/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper to taste. Stir until combined.
  • Lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish with olive oil. Transfer the dressing mixture to the dish and level the top. When the chicken comes out of the oven, put the dressing in the oven, uncovered, and bake for 30 minutes. The dressing should be golden brown and heated through.
  • Serve the chicken with the dressing on the side.

Roasted Chicken with Fried Rice Stuffing and Scallion Oil image

Provided by Ming Tsai

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (5 to 6 pound) whole chicken, washed, patted dry (preferably organic)
2 1/2 cups cooked calrose/sushi rice
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/2 cup sliced scallions
1 minced jalapeno (or 2 serrano chiles)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Garnish with scallion oil, recipe follows
2 bunch scallions, green part only
1 cup spinach leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 cups canola oil

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 550 degrees. Rub chicken with oil, then salt and pepper. Place chicken, breast side up, in the oven and cook for about 25 minutes or until golden brown. May have to rotate the chicken for even coloring. As chicken is cooking, in a saute pan, add a little oil and quickly brown the garlic, ginger, scallions and jalapeno. Add mixture to cooled rice. Rice should end up a bit sticky. Check for seasoning. When chicken is fully browned, stuff with rice and turn the oven down to 300 degrees. Cover with foil to prevent burning. Chicken will take another 45 to 55 minutes. Chicken is done when one can move the wing back and forth with great ease. Allow chicken to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
  • In a pot of boiling, well salted water, blanch scallion and spinach for 30 seconds and shock in ice bath. Squeeze out water and place in blender cup with salt and sugar. With blender on high speed, add canola oil in a steady stream. Blend for 5 minutes until cup gets slightly warm. This oil may be done a day in advance and will keep in the refrigerator for at least 1 week.

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Whole Chicken Recipes

Time 2h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup butter, divided
3 large onions, sliced
2 cups sliced celery
1 leek, sliced
2 teaspoons lemon zest
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 whole chicken, rinsed and patted dry
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
½ loaf French bread, cut into 3/4-inch slices
¼ cup fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add onions, celery, and leek. Cook and stir until softened, about 10 minutes. Stir in lemon zest, thyme, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Cook until flavors combine, about 5 minutes. Mix in parsley. Remove from heat; transfer vegetable mixture to a bowl.
  • Butterfly the chicken by removing the backbone, and pressing down on the breastbone to crack chicken open using a knife or kitchen shears. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book. Rub the remaining 2 tablespoons butter all over the chicken. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Lay bread onto the bottom of the same skillet; spread vegetable mixture over bread to make stuffing. Arrange chicken into a layer on top, skin side-up. Pour lemon juice over chicken.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 1 hour to 1 hour 30 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 chicken from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing into quarters. Spoon stuffing onto each serving patter and top with chicken.

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH WILD RICE STUFFING



Roasted Chicken With Wild Rice Stuffing image

My daughter found this recipe on another food network and used it to stuff a baked chicken. We all loved it and since then I have fixed it to good reviews from all the family except the grandsons (was probably a little to different for them) The taste is rich and the texture moist, My daughter changed it some as it was intended for a goose, rather than chicken and called for roasted chestnuts, but we prefer mushrooms. Great for that special dinner for friends or family.
