Polenta and marjoram stuffing for chicken
This is a tasty and original idea that makes a change from the traditional. Polenta is a great sponge for all the chicken juices.
Ingredients
1¼ cups water or chicken stock
½ cup polenta
½ small brown onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
25g butter
1 tbsp marjoram leaves
2 tomatoes, chopped
salt and pepper
1 large chicken, about 1.6kg
Method
Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 190C. Bring stock or water to the boil in a heavy-based saucepan. Whisk in polenta and cook slowly for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Cook onion and garlic in butter until soft. Add to polenta with marjoram and tomatoes and mix well. Check seasoning and stuff chicken with polenta mix.
Step 3
Truss chicken with string. Season and roast for 1¼ hours. Rest in a warm place for 20 minutes before carving. Serve with stuffing and a green salad.
