Best 6 Stuffed And Roasted Chicken Recipes

ROASTED CHICKEN WITH FRESH GARLIC AND SPINACH STUFFED UNDER THE SKIN AND WILD MUSHROOM MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Mix thoroughly and reserve for seasoning the chicken.
• Preheat oven to 340 degrees. Brown off the garlic lightly in olive oil and place to the side. Then saute your spinach quickly until starts to wilt. Remove from the flame and add to lightly browned garlic. Chill. Slide your fingers in between the skin and the breast meat of the chicken. Neatly slide your spinach and garlic mixture in between the skin and the breast meat. Truss your chicken and lightly sprinkle some of your herb mixture over the top of chicken and rub with olive oil. Bake in a pre-heated 340 degree oven for about 45 minutes.
• While the potatoes are still warm add your heated milk, butter, mushrooms, and demi-glace. Mix thoroughly until incorporated.

CHICKEN BREASTS STUFFED WITH ZUCCHINI, ROASTED RED PEPPER, AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• In a skillet cook the onion in 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderately low heat until it is softened, add the zucchini, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute, or until the zucchini is tender. Stir in the red pepper, the goat cheese, and salt and pepper to taste and cook the mixture, stirring, until cheese is melted. Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and let it cool slightly.
• With your fingers make a pocket for the filling in each chicken breast half by separating in skin from the meat, being careful not to tear the skin and keeping the skin attached along most of the edge. Stuff each pocket with half the filling with a small spoon, packing it and pulling the skin to cover the filling completely, and secure the pockets with wooden picks if desired. In a large skillet heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it sauté the chicken, beginning with the skin side up, for 2 minutes on each side. Reduce the heat to moderate, cook the chicken for 9 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through, and divide it between 2 plates. Pour off the fat from the skillet, to the skillet add the broth, and boil the broth, scraping up the brown bits, for 30 seconds. Strain the sauce and pour it around the chicken.

SAUSAGE-STUFFED ROASTED CHICKEN BREAST AND SIDE DISHES

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees
• To prepare chicken: If frozen, thaw the chicken breasts, rinse, pat dry and set aside. Using a large flat plate prepare the "dredging flour" with salt and pepper and set aside. Take 2 of the maple sausage links and cut them into half so you have 4 pieces. Open the chicken breasts and remove the "fillet" and reserve for another use. Make a small pocket in the inside of the breast. Place 1 of the sausage pieces in the pocket and wrap the breast around it creating a closed container surrounding the sausage. Dredge the breasts in the prepared flour and set the 4 breasts on a clean plate. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an oven safe lidded skillet. Starting with the open end first, brown the breasts fully being careful not to open the closed breast. As the breasts cook, the opening will seal making it easier to finish the searing and browning. Once fully browned cover and place in the oven and cook through. Using a small saucepan, combine basil pesto and cream and mix well. Over medium heat reduce the pesto/cream mixture by 1/3 and set aside.
• For the spinach: Plump the raisins in a cup of warm water and set aside. Cut the remaining sausage in to small pieces and set aside. Remove the frozen spinach from the package. Carefully cut the blocks into 8 large pieces. Using a lidded skillet, saute the onion in 2 tablespoons of olive oil for 2 minutes. Add the sausage and lightly brown. Add the frozen spinach and cover. When the spinach has totally thawed combine the onion and sausage and season with salt to taste. Add the raisins and their liquid and finish cooking, about 10 minutes. Allow the liquid to evaporate but do not dry out completely.
• Tomatoes, zucchini flowers and string beans: Using a non-stick pan quickly sear the tomatoes in some butter. Do not cook them longer than 30 seconds on each side. Reserve the pan and juices for cooking the zucchini flowers. Gently open the zucchini flower and remove the piston from its center. Replace it with a small piece of brie and close the flower. Using the same pan from above quickly cook the zucchini flowers. They are done when you see the Brie melting. Remove from the pan and place 1 on each of the seared tomato slices. Set aside. Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the string beans and cook until your desired doneness. Dress with extra virgin olive oil and some freshly squeezed lemon. Season with the freshly ground black pepper.
• Remove the roasted chicken breasts from the oven and remove the skin. Place one breast centered on the lower third of the individual plate. Place a zucchini flower topped tomato on each plate centered above the breast. Frame the plate with some dressed sting beans on one side and the sauteed spinach on the other. Slowly re-heat the basil pesto sauce and place 2 to 3 spoonfuls of the sauce on each breast. Serve warm and enjoy.

STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST AND ROASTED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine bread, celery, sage, onion, cranberries, and 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Working from neck end of chicken, use fingers to loosen skin from flesh, and separate skin from center breast bone with a paring knife. Generously season under and over skin with salt and pepper.
• Place stuffing under skin, distributing evenly. Rub skin with 1 tablespoon oil, and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of breast (avoiding bone) registers 165 degrees, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Tent with aluminum foil, and let rest for 15 minutes.
• While chicken is resting, toss broccoli with remaining 2 tablespoons oil on another baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast until beginning to brown, 15 to 20 minutes, tossing once. Remove breast from bone, slice crosswise, and serve chicken with broccoli.

STUFFED AND ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Salt the cavity of the chicken. Using about half the butter, liberally butter each slice of bread and cover with sage leaves, pressing leaves into butter. Add one or two oysters to each slice, roll slices up and thrust into cavity, packing tightly.
• Truss the bird and place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Melt remaining butter in wine. Place bird in oven and cook 45 minutes, basting three times with butter and wine mixture. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue roasting an additional 15 minutes. Remove bird from oven and set aside to rest for 15 minutes or so before serving. Cooking time will vary depending on size of bird. Count on an hour or more. Chicken is done when leg juices run clear yellow when pierced with a fork.
• Collect juices in the roasting pan. Skim off excess fat. Just before serving, bring juices to a boil and add Worcestershire sauce. Serve the bird on a platter and pass juices separately in a gravy boat.

BOILED, STUFFED AND ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Clean the chicken and place in a deep saucepan and cover with water.
• Add salt, pepper and butter.
• Bring to the boil skimming away any scum.
• Simmer in the water for about 3/4 hr, or until nearly tender.
• Allow to cool a little.
• Stuffing.
• Fry the minced meat in 2 tbsp oil until browned and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• In a separate pan heat the remaining oil or butter and fry the almonds and pine nuts for 2-3 mins.
• Mix the meat, nuts and rice and taste for seasoning.
• Stuff the chicken tightly with this mixture and secure with a skewer.
• Roast the stuffed chicken, brushed with butter, in a slow oven (160c/325F/Gas Mark 3) for 30 mins, or until it is a beautiful golden colour.
