Best 8 Chicken Pot Roast Recipes

ROAST CHICKEN IN THE CROCK POT

Steps:

• Crumple three pieces of aluminum foil and place in the middle of your slow cooker.
• Add wine, garlic, onion, celery and carrot.
• Place chicken on top of aluminum foil. (You may have to push the chicken down a bit so it'll all fit in there!).
• Sprinkle chicken with herbs, salt and pepper.
• Set slow cooker to high and cook for 1/2 hour per pound.
• When ready, stick a meat thermometer into leg to ensure it is done. Transfer chicken to a roasting pan and set oven to 500º Fahrenheit.
• Roast for 8-10 minutes, or until skin is golden brown.
• Serve with roast root vegetables, mashed potatoes, or anything else you'd like!
• The best part of this recipe? After your done cooking everything, you'll have a considerable amount of jus left over from the chicken. Whisk it with some cornstarch for a truly delicious gravy, or save it in your fridge or freezer for at-the-ready soup stock when you need it in a pinch. (It's so much better than bouillon.).

ONE-POT CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine butternut squash, potatoes, carrot, 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon pepper seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl; toss to combine. Transfer vegetables to a baking sheet.
• Toss chicken breasts in the same bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil, remaining salt, and Caribbean seasoning until coated. Add to baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center, juices run clear, and vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN POT ROAST DINNER

Steps:

• Spray 3- to 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. In cooker, place potatoes, carrots and thawed onions. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper; place over vegetables in cooker. Pour gravy over top.
• Cover; cook on Low heat setting 8 to 10 hours.
• Stir in thawed peas. Increase heat setting to High. Cover; cook about 15 minutes longer or until peas are tender.

HERBED ROAST CHICKEN FOR CROCK POT (WITH BONUS STOCK)

Steps:

• Cut up the onion, celery and carrots and put them in the bottom of your crock pot. You are not going to eat these with the chicken, they stay there for making stock. Limp veggies are OK for this part. Putting them in the bottom of the crock pot keeps the chicken elevated out of the juice and lets the bird roast instead of stew.
• Combine the garlic cloves, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add about 1/2 tsp of the fresh thyme leaves or all of the dried thyme. I combine in a small food processor, but you can do this by hand.
• Remove all the stuff they pack on the inside of your chicken and place them (neck and innards, NOT the plastic bag) in the crock pot with the veggies. You aren't eating innards, but they DO make the stock taste richer. Remove as much of the excess chicken fat as is practical.
• Take the garlic paste and spread it under the skin of the chicken. Try not to poke holes in the skin. Make sure you flavor the breasts and thighs. Now stuff the orange or lemon slices and fresh thyme (if using) under the skin as well. If you have extra, place it in the middle of the bird.
• Roast in your crock pot for 3 to 4 hours on hi.
• Remove chicken and enjoy for dinner. Add 2 cups of water to your crock pot and turn it to LO.
• I remove the thighs, legs and wings to a platter for serving. I put the breasts into a ziptop bag for use in another meal unless we're serving company.
• After removing as much of the chicken meat as you care to, return the bones to the crock pot. It helps if you separate the bones or mush them to make it lie flatter. Add enough water to come 1/2 way up the bones. Turn your crock pot on LO for 8 to 12 hours.
• Strain the liquid from the crock pot and refrigerate. Dump the solids into the trash. After the stock has cooled, remove the hard fat from the top and discard. Freeze the stock or use it within a few days.

CROCK POT ROAST CHICKEN IN TARRAGON CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Rinse chicken inside and out and pat dry.
• Place lemon slices inside cavity along with tarragon and truss chicken loosely.
• (See Tip) In a skillet, heat oil over medium high heat.
• Brown chicken on all sides, using two wooden spoons to turn the bird so you don't puncture the skin, finishing with the breast side up.
• Turn off heat and pour brandy, if using, over chicken.
• Ignite and, when flames subside, transfer chicken to slow cooker stoneware.
• Drain off all but 1 tablespoons.
• fat in pan.
• Over medium heat, cook shallots until soft.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Add wine and chicken broth and bring to a boil.
• Cook until sauce is reduced by about one third, about 5 minutes.
• Pour over chicken, cover and cook on Low for 7 to 9 hours or on High for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours, until juices run clear when pierced with a fork or a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh reads 170°F.
• Carefully lift chicken from liquid, transfer to a large heatproof platter and keep warm while you make the sauce.
• TO MAKE TARRAGON-CREAM SAUCE: Pour cooking liquid into a 4-cup heatproof measure and place in the freezer for a few minutes until the fat rises to the surface.
• Skim off as much fat as possible.
• Transfer remaining liquid to a saucepan and, over high heat, boil rapidly until sauce is reduced by half.
• Stir in tarragon and cream and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Serve in a sauce boat alongside carved chicken.
• TIP: I suggest trussing the chicken loosely for ease of browning and lifting.
• However, it is important to keep the string loose or the inner part of the thigh, which is less exposed to heat, will not cook properly.
