Chicken Mini Roast With Stuffing Recipes

CHICKEN BREAST ROASTS WITH SAVOURY STUFFING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; add onion, celery and savory. Cook until tender. Remove from heat and stir in crumbs until well mixed. Stir in chicken broth. Stuffing should be moist enough to shape into 2 logs.
• Put chicken breasts between layers of wax paper and pound to about ½ inch (1 cm) thickness. Season chicken with salt and pepper and place, smooth side down, on a cutting board.
• Place 1 stuffing log down the middle of one chicken breast. Place a second chicken breast, smooth side up, on top of the stuffing. Tie breasts together securely with string so the stuffing is sandwiched in between. Repeat with the remaining two breasts. These are called chicken breast roasts and each roast serves two.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown the roasts on all sides. Place on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 minutes or until a thermometer inserted into the chicken (not the stuffing) reads 165°F (74°C).
• To serve, remove string and slice each roast in 6. Serve with roasted potatoes.

CHICKEN MINI ROAST WITH STUFFING

Steps:

• Pre heat oven to 180 c / 355 f fan forced. Line a low sided, rimmed baking tray/sheet with baking paper & set aside
• Place breadcrumbs in a small bowl along with onion powder, garlic, 1/4 tsp sage, thyme, marjoram & salt then mix lightly
• Add 2 tbsp melted butter to breadcrumbs and mix to combine well, then add beaten egg and mix until well combined
• Place bacon rashers vertically on a clean work surface, then place one chicken thigh smooth side down on each rasher of bacon to form a cross or "+" shape
• Take 1/4 of breadcrumb mixture and compress with your hands to form a rough oval shape patty, then place patty in the center of the chicken thigh - the patty will run the same direction as the bacon
• Bring up both sides of the chicken thigh to wrap around the patty, then bring up both ends of the bacon to cross over the top of the mini roast then secure each bacon end with a toothpick and place on prepared tray (see notes)
• Using a pastry brush, brush the remaining 1 tbsp melted butter evenly over the mini roasts, and bake for 30 - 35 mins or until cooked through & stuffing has crispy edges
• To make gravy, remove mini roasts from baking sheet/tray and keep warm, then carefully pour the remaining butter & pan drippings into a small saucepan, adding extra butter if needed & mix in the plain flour (see notes)
• Stir butter & flour mixture over low heat until mixture starts to look grainy & bubbly. Switch off heat, then gradually add stock 1-2 tbsp at time for about the first 500ml / 1/2 cup, making sure the liquid is fully incorporated with no lumps before the next addition of stock. Add a good pinch of powdered sage & simmer until gravy has thickened slightly, taste & season if required
• Remove toothpicks to serve if you wish, top with gravy & serve

ROAST CHICKEN WITH SKILLET STUFFING

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.
