🌿 Stuffed Chicken Recipe @homemade_addict2 🧂 Ingredients For the Chicken: 1 whole chicken (about 1–1.2 kg), cleaned 1 tbsp lemon juice Salt & pepper to taste 1 tbsp butter or oil For the Stuffing: 1 tbsp oil or butter 1 medium onion, finely chopped 3–4 garlic cloves, chopped 1 cup breadcrumbs ½ cup grated cheese (mozzarella or cheddar) 1 small carrot, grated ½ cup chopped spinach or coriander leaves 1 boiled egg, chopped (optional) 1 tsp mixed herbs (or oregano + thyme) ½ tsp black pepper powder Salt to taste For Basting: 2 tbsp melted butter 1 tsp lemon juice
👩🍳 Method Prep the Chicken: Wash and pat dry. Rub salt, pepper, and lemon juice all over and inside the chicken. Set aside.
Make the Stuffing: Heat oil in a pan. Sauté onion and garlic till soft. Add grated carrot and spinach; cook for 1–2 minutes. Mix in breadcrumbs, cheese, herbs, pepper, and salt. Remove from heat, let it cool slightly, then add chopped boiled egg (optional)
Stuff the Chicken: Fill the cavity with the stuffing and secure it with toothpicks or kitchen twine. Tie the legs together if needed.
Roast the Chicken: Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush the chicken with melted butter and lemon juice. Roast for 1 hour, basting occasionally with the juices or butter. Check doneness — juices should run clear when pierced.
Rest & Serve: Let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. Serve with roasted potatoes, sautéed veggies, or a light salad. #recipeahare #food credits @cookwithjudyandflo #southafricahalaal #fypageシ
