Happy Wednesday! Sorry I have been so MIA here on Just Jodi Style. I flew last weekend to Scottsdale to see one of my best friends get married. I also had the honor of signing her Ketubah which when she asked me to do it I cried in the middle of SoulCycle. Thanks Sara <3. Anyways I am finally back in New York and ready for the week. When I was younger my Mom always cooked us dinner during the week on top of working every single day. We all had our favorite meals that she would cook us and this one was one my favorites. She always made up names for the dishes she made since we were young and didn’t fully understand everything. This dish she called chicken in the pot. It is a whole chicken that you put into a dish as shown in the image above called a deep dish corning-ware or you can also make this in a crock pot! I have done that as well before and it is delicious. Here is what you need:
Ingredients:
1 package of baby carrots
1 package of celery
1 whole chicken
Paprika
Garlic salt
Morton’s Seasoning
1 small spoon of crushed garlic
1 deep dish corning-ware (size depends on the size of the chicken you wish to cook)
Instructions
1.Heat the oven to 350 Degrees.
2.Clean out the chicken and pat it dry. Then place it in the deep dish corning-ware or crock pot.
3.Take the celery and cut it up into small pieces. Once the chicken is in the deep dish corning-ware or crock pot scatter around the celery and carrots. You can also place some inside the chicken. Once this is done then take one small spoon of crushed garlic and put it on the inside of the chicken.
4.Once you have added all the veggies and the crushed garlic cover the whole top of the chicken with paprika seasoning. Then add a dash of the garlic salt and a dash of the morton’s seasoning.
5.If your chicken doesn’t have one of those poppers to tell you when it’s done please be sure to add it now. This is important in order to know when your chicken is fully cooked.
6.Take a measuring cup and fill the dish with water just to the point that it’s not covering the chicken. I’d say about close to half way up the chicken.
7.Place chicken in the oven. Make sure if you are using a dish like the one in my image that you cover it as well as your crock pot for it to cook.
8.Depending on how large the Chicken is it will take at least 3 – 4 hours to cook.
9.While the chicken is cooking I would cook your sides. I personally love white rice and peas with this dish.
10.Once the popper has popped on your chicken you are ready to go! It should be moist and if you cooked it in a crock pot the chicken usually just falls right off the bone.
Hope you all enjoy!!!
