Boned Stuffed Whole Chicken

This has been one of Moe’s favourite meals for as long as we have been married.  So almost 35 years.  I’ve made a version of this dinner numerous times over the years. Just not recently.

It is the perfect way to prepare a roast chicken for a dinner party because a small chicken will easily feed six to eight when it is boned and stuffed.

It can be stuffed with any of your favourite stuffings.
I used a traditional combination bread/cornbread stuffing.

I boned out the chicken earlier in the day and just refrigerated it until I was ready to stuff it.
Put a pan of cornbread in the oven early afternoon for the stuffing.
Bonus, a slice with afternoon tea.
Chicken stuffed and tied.
Roasted surrounded by sliced onions, garlic cloves and a handful of cherry tomatoes and a little chicken broth.
Sliced and ready to serve.

Served with roasted Delicata Squash, butter peas and mashed potatoes.  The sauce is made by adding a little more chicken broth to the pan and pureeing the vegetables and then straining.

    This looks delicious Ann. I've done it with pork loin but never thought about chicken.

  3. I made a stuffed and deboned chicken for the first time a couple of months ago, and have since made it for a dinner party. Everybody raves about the presentation, (and the taste) but it is a real PAIN to take all the bones out. Your version looks wonderful.
