Recipe Information
Step by step guide to making Roast chicken with spinach stuffing
- Preheat the oven to 190°C, fan 170°C, gas mark 5.
- Place the chicken in a roasting tray and roast, following pack instructions, until cooked through and no pink remains. Pour the oil in another roasting tin and heat in the oven.
- Place the potatoes in a pan of cold water. Bring to the boil and cook for 7 minutes, then drain and shake in the pan to create fluffy edges (these will crisp up when roasted).
- Gently pour into the heated roasting tray (be careful as the hot oil may spit) and mix to coat in the oil. Roast for 1 hour (the last hour of the chicken's cooking time), turning once or twice.
- Meanwhile, mix the cheese, spinach and breadcrumbs in a bowl and season. Place in a lightly oiled dish and bake with the chicken and potatoes for the last 10 minutes.
- Boil the carrots for 6 minutes, then add the peas and cook for 3 minutes, then drain.
- To make the gravy, mix 2 tablespoons of the chicken juices from the roasting tin with the flour over a medium heat. Gradually add the stock and bring to the boil, stirring. Serve with the roast chicken and vegetables.
