Roast Chicken Recipes
Mushroom And Onion Stuffed Roast Chicken
You Will Need:
1/2 onion finely diced
2 cloves of garlic crushed
1 punnet of button mushrooms
30 ml olive oil
30 ml lemon juice
30 ml fresh parsley chopped
15 ml cream cheese
1.4 kg whole chicken
Baby Potatoes
garlic and rosemary spice to taste
Oven cooking bag
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Heat the olive oil in a pan and then saute the onion and garlic until soft.
Add the mushrooms and cook until soft. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice, parsley and cream cheese.
Run your fingers between the skin and flesh of the chicken.
Spread the stuffing generously into the flesh of the chicken securing it with the skin so that none of it runs out.
Place the chicken into your oven bag with some baby potatoes. Sprinkle your seasoning mix inside then hold the bag closed and roll gently to spread the spices.
Place the roasting bag on a baking tray and knot loosely to seal.
Pierce the top of the bag 3 times with a knife and roast for an hour until cooked.
For a crispier skin, open the bag 15 minutes before the end of cooking.
Serve with roasted vegetables.
