Ingredients :
– 1 medium chicken
– 1 potato
– 2 carrots
– 1 leek
– 1/2 onion
– 1 glass of white wine
– 2 cloves of garlic
– Olive oil
– Herbs
Preparation :
Buy a good size chicken and ask to have it cleaned. Once we have the chicken at home, we must wash it very well and season it to taste. It is important that you adjust the size of the chicken to the number of people who will eat it, since there are chickens of very different sizes.
On the other hand, we are going to wash and peel the vegetables, the potatoes are cut into slices of half a centimeter more or less the same as the carrots. You also have to peel the onions and cut them in julienne strips, the leek will also be cut into thin strips. The garlic cloves are peeled and crushed or cut into tiny pieces.
Now we are going to distribute all the vegetables around the bottom of the pan where we are going to cook the chicken. First we will place the potatoes, then the pieces of carrot, leek, onion and garlic. We season all the vegetables and on top of them we will place the chicken.
We turn on the oven at 190º C and wait for it to heat up. We usually preheat the oven while we prepare the vegetables, so once we have them prepared we do not have to wait to heat the oven. It is a good habit that always helps to speed up the preparation of many recipes made in the oven.
We water the chicken and vegetables with a little olive oil, then with a glass of white wine and carefully pour half a glass of water into the source. We sprinkle the herbs with which we want to dress, we use thyme and rosemary in this case, but different ones can be used.
Next, we put the dish with the chicken in the oven, we leave about 1 hour of time, turning it over half the time, so that the chicken is done well on both sides. When it is well baked, you take it out of the oven and it only remains to distribute the chopped chicken on the plates and accompanied with the vegetables that we have prepared.
