Whole Roasted Chicken with Tomato Artichoke Sauce
Ingredients
- One whole chicken whatever size you need to feed your troops
- Canned diced tomatoes 28 ounces, drained
- 1 cup marinated artichoke quarters drained
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1/2 tablespoon minced garlic I used jarred
- a pinch each of dried: basil oregano, and parsley
- Optional: 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- Optional: 1/3 - 1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Clean and season your chicken, set aside. (Not familiar with the best way to do this? Check out my article on How to Roast a Great Chicken or Turkey!)
- In a large covered roaster combine the remaining ingredients (not the optional ingredients) and give a quick mix with your fork.
- Place the chicken breast side down in the roaster, cover and roast at 375 degrees for 60 to 90 minutes (depending on the size of your chicken, check for doneness with a meat thermometer).
- Remove the chicken and set aside to rest for ten minutes. While the chicken is resting, use an immersion blender to blend what remains in the roaster into a sauce. (Alternately you could pour it into your upright blender and puree. Just be careful because it will be very hot). If the sauce is too tart for your liking, stir in brown sugar in quarter teaspoon increments, tasting as you go.
- Optional step: Want to make the sauce downright sinful? Stir in 1/3 to 1/2 cup of heavy cream.*
- Serve chicken with sauce and your choice of sides. Enjoy!
