Roast Chicken with Apple and Garden Herb Stuffing

Recipe submitted by DO29

Pin It

Inspired by a Neil Perry chicken dish where he used a whole organic chicken with the bones removed, I set about learning how to debone a chicken and creating this dish. I used the herbs I had growing in the garden, some frozen wholegrain breadrolls for crumbs and some apples we’d bought near Stanthorpe. We had bought a whole case of new season apples while on a day trip to the country and I was keen to use them in the recipe. The result was fantastic - a delicious dish!

Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients

Whole large organic chicken
¼ cup virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
For the stuffing:
2 cups wholegrain breadcrumbs
1 onion
½ cup chopped garden herbs (i used parsley, rosemary and basil)
1 glove garlic
1 egg
2 tabs virgin olive oil
1 tabs milk
salt and pepper
¼ cup sultanas
1 apple chopped into a small dice
1 apple grated

Method

Preheat oven to 200 C.
De-bone the chicken keeping the flesh in one piece. ( I found a plethora of videos on Youtube which showed me how to do this – you’ll need a sharp boning knife)
Use a blender to chop the onion and the herbs. Add the fresh wholegrain breadcrumbs, the egg, the olive oil, milk, sultanas. Place the mixture in a bowl.
Add the chopped and grated apple and salt and pepper.
Spread the stuffing on the boned chicken. Roll up and truss with cook’s string.
Place on olive oil in a baking dish, rubbing the surface of the chicken skin with olive oil. Season with salf and pepper.
Bake for 45 mins to an hour or until cooked through. (Note that a boned chicken cooks more quickly than one with bones)
When cooked allow to sit for 5 minutes or so before removing the string.
Serve with baked potato, gravy and sweet potato and green beans.

  Thanks RR - yes it's not a good photo , I agree. Will have to make it again and reshoot. I have just got a new SLR Digital Camera which should take absolutely fantastic shots. Watch this space.
