Stoved Chicken (Chicken Casserole With Potatoes, Bacon and Onion image

A recipe I found for Scotland at All British Foods.com., posting for ZWT6. Sometimes also called 'stovies' this Scottish recipe derives from the French etouffer, to cook in a closed pot, and dates from the strong Scottish/French links of the seventeenth century. It makes a filling family dish which can safely be left to its own devices; a little extra cooking time will not spoil the flavour.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons butter (divided)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 chicken quarters, halved
4 ounces bacon, chopped
2 1/2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch slices (starchy kind)

fresh chives, to garnish

Steps:

  • Heat half of the butter and the oil in a large frying pan and fry the chicken and bacon for 5 minutes, until lightly browned.
  • Place a thick layer of potato slices, then onion slices, in the base of a large ovenproof casserole. Season well, add the thyme and dot with half the remaining butter.
  • Add the chicken and bacon, season to taste and dot with the remaining butter. Cover with the remaining onions and finally a layer of potatoes. Season and dot with butter. Pour over the stock.
  • Cover and bake at 150°C (300°F) mark 2 for about 2 hours, until the chicken is tender and the potatoes are cooked, adding a little more hot stock if necessary.
  • Just before serving sprinkle with snipped chives.

I love this recipe because it's so versatile. You can add or subtract ingredients to suit your own taste. I often add some chopped carrots or celery, or I'll use a different type of cheese. It's always delicious.

This is a great recipe for a potluck or a large gathering. It's easy to double or triple the recipe and it always turns out great. I usually make it with boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but you could also use thighs or drumsticks.

This is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a cold night. The chicken is fall-off-the-bone tender and the potatoes are creamy and flavorful. The bacon adds a nice smoky flavor and the onions add a bit of sweetness. I highly recommend this
