Stoved Chicken (Chicken Casserole With Potatoes, Bacon and Onion image

A recipe I found for Scotland at All British Foods.com., posting for ZWT6. Sometimes also called 'stovies' this Scottish recipe derives from the French etouffer, to cook in a closed pot, and dates from the strong Scottish/French links of the seventeenth century. It makes a filling family dish which can safely be left to its own devices; a little extra cooking time will not spoil the flavour.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter (divided)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 chicken quarters, halved
4 ounces bacon, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat half of the butter and the oil in a large frying pan and fry the chicken and bacon for 5 minutes, until lightly browned.

  • Cover and bake at 150°C (300°F) mark 2 for about 2 hours, until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are cooked, adding a little more hot stock if necessary.
  • Just before serving sprinkle with snipped chives.
