Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 3- to 4-pound chicken
1 1/2 to 2 pounds large carrots
4 small onions, peeled
2 sprigs rosemary
2 leeks
4 cloves garlic
Herb bouquet (thyme, bay leaf and parsley tied in cheesecloth)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
4 to 5 pints chicken stock, preferably homemade
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cup parsley, chopped fine

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a casserole into which it fits neatly along with the vegetables. Place the carrots, onions, rosemary, leeks, garlic cloves and herb bouquet around it, season with salt and pepper, and add enough stock just to cover. Bring to boil, skim off any foam that rises to the top, and allow to simmer gently until the chicken is cooked (about one hour).
  • Pour one-quarter cup chicken stock into a small saute pan. Add the sugar and reduce over high heat. Remove the carrots from the casserole with a slotted spoon, roll them in the glaze and saute them until they are shiny.
  • Place the chicken on a serving dish and arrange the carrots and other vegetables around it, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

This recipe is a great way to meal prep for the week. I boil a big batch of chicken and carrots on the weekend and then use it throughout the week in different dishes.

I've made this recipe in a slow cooker before and it turned out just as good as when I made it on the stovetop.

This recipe is a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the carrots and they don't even realize they're eating them.

This recipe is a great starting point for creating your own variations. I've added different herbs and spices to the cooking water to give the chicken and carrots a different flavor profile.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I often make a big batch of boiled chicken on the weekend and then use it throughout the week in salads, sandwiches, and soups.
