My next door neighbour gave me this recipe and I will be making it tonight. She swears it's the best and her family loves it. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 kg chicken |
225 g sliced ham |
2 sliced onions |
2 stalks celery, diced |
3 carrots, diced |
1 1/2 cups chicken stock |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
Directions:
1. Rub oil all over the chicken. Place into a casserole dish. Place uncovered into a preheated (180 degrees c) oven.
2. Bake for 30 minutes.
3. Add the ham, onion, celery, carrots, stock and tarragon. Cover and continue to bake for 1 hour.
4. Remove from oven, strain the broth (keep broth) and carve chicken.
5. Return the chicken to the casserole dish and reserve warm with the vegetables.
6. Heat the butter in a saucepan; stir in the flour and pour in 2 cups of the strained broth. Simmer until sauce thickens; pour over chicken and vegetables. Serve in the casserole dish.
