Best Chicken In A Pot Recipes

CHICKEN IN A POT

Steps:

• Put the chicken in a large pot with the stock, onions, carrots and leeks. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to medium-low. Skim any foam that rises to the surface. Add the bay leaf, allspice, peppercorns and thyme to the pot along with some salt and pepper. Simmer until the chicken and vegetables are nearly tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 45 minutes; the bird is done when a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh reads 155 to 165 degrees. With 15 minutes of cooking time remaining, heat the oven to 200 degrees.
• When the chicken is done, use a slotted spoon to transfer it and the vegetables to an ovenproof platter in the oven. Raise the heat to high and boil the stock until it reduces by about 25 percent, 10 or 15 minutes.
• Strain the stock into a large bowl or another large pot; taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve the soup as a first course, garnished with parsley or dill, followed by the chicken and vegetables, or cut the chicken up and serve everything in deep bowls, garnished with parsley or dill.

FRENCH CHICKEN IN A POT (AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN)

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 250 degrees. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in large (5- to 8-quart) Dutch oven over medium heat until just smoking. Add chicken breast-side down; scatter onion, celery, garlic, bay leaf, and rosemary (if using) around chicken. Cook until breast is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Using a wooden spoon inserted into cavity of bird, flip chicken breast-side up and cook until chicken and vegetables are well browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Remove Dutch oven from heat; place large sheet of foil over pot and cover tightly with lid. Transfer pot to oven and cook until instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees when inserted in thickest part of breast and 175 degrees in thickest part of thigh, 80 to 110 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to carving board, tent with foil, and rest 20 minutes. Meanwhile, strain chicken juices from pot through fine-mesh strainer into fat separator, pressing on solids to extract liquid; discard solids (you should have about 3/4 cup juices). Allow liquid to settle 5 minutes, then pour into saucepan and set over low heat.
• Carve chicken, adding any accumulated juices to saucepan. Stir lemon juice into jus to taste. Serve chicken, passing jus at table.

Steps:

• Put the carrots, onions, dill sprigs, lemon zest and olive oil in a 7-liter pressure cooker and sprinkle with salt. Sprinkle the chicken with salt. Pour the broth in the pot, and then nestle the chicken meat-side down on top of the vegetables. Close the pressure cooker lid and bring the pressure up to high over medium-high heat (this can take up to 10 minutes). Adjust the heat if necessary to maintain an even high pressure for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and use the quick-release method to bring down the pressure.
• Stir the chopped dill into the chicken stew. Put 1 chicken breast in each of 4 large soup bowls and ladle some carrots and broth over each one.

• Pour the stock into a large stockpot and bring to a boil with the cilantro (tied for easy removal later), salt and pepper.
• Add the chicken, leek, onion, garlic, turnips, carrots, chayote, yams, potatoes, and cabbage and simmer over medium heat, cooking until the vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked, about 45 minutes.
• Transfer the chicken pieces to a tureen (skin the chicken if desired) or individual plates and surround with the vegetables. Strain the broth over the vegetables and chicken and garnish with Avocado Sauce.
• Cut the avocados into quarters. Remove the seeds, peel and place in a mixing bowl. Mash with a potato masher or fork. Add the remaining ingredients and beat with a fork to mix thoroughly.

CHICKEN IN A POT

Steps:

• Put chicken in a large pot, and add enough stock and/or water to come about halfway up its sides. Add onion and, if you're using them, the mushrooms, and bring to boil over high heat. Partially cover, and adjust heat so liquid simmers gently.
• After about 30 minutes add barley and continue to cook. The chicken will be done about 30 minutes later. (Cut into it to make sure; the juices will run clear, and there will be only a trace of pink at leg joint.) Remove it to a platter and keep warm. Remove onion, and discard.
• Add vegetables to pot, with butter and some salt and pepper, and raise heat to high. Cook until mixture is thick and most of the visible liquid gone. (If this happens before vegetables are tender, add some water or stock and continue.) Carve chicken, and serve with vegetable mixture. Garnish with parsley.

• In a large bowl, toss leeks, carrots, and garlic with oil; season with salt and pepper. Remove pot from oven and add vegetables. Bake until chicken's juices run clear when pierced between breast and leg or an instant-read thermometer inserted in thickest part of a thigh (avoiding bone) registers 165, 35 to 45 minutes. Let chicken rest 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, set a steamer basket in a large pot filled with 2 inches boiling water. Place potatoes in basket, cover, and steam until tender, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Carve chicken and serve with vegetables and pan juices.
