This is a lovely recipe, found on the Flora website (hence the inclusion in the ingredients), and with a tiny modification, I think it makes an excellent meal.
Ingredients
450g (1lb) potatoes, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
300ml (1/2 pint) chicken stock
25g (1 oz) Flora pro.activ light spread
1.6kg (3.5lb) free range chicken (more does improve the taste)
1 clove garlic
1 lemon
2 tablespoons fresh chopped thyme
Method
- Layer the potatoes and onion in a shallow ovenproof dish, large enough to hold the chicken. Pour over the stock.
- Mix together the Flora spread with the garlic, lemon rind and herbs and carefully loosen the skin of the chicken over the breast. Spread the flavoured pro.activ inside the chicken skin.
- Quarter the lemon and place in the chicken cavity and then place the chicken on the potatoes.
- Cook in preheated oven 200C, 400F, Gas 6 for about 1 hour 45 minutes or until well cooked through.
- Drain away the liquid and excess fat from the potato and onion mix and serve the chicken without the chicken skin to reduce the fat content of the meal.
This sounds like a really good chicken dish. I might try 3 garlic cloves instead. love that spice!
Sounds like a great idea, I will also give it a try
