Directions
Pan-Roasted Chicken & Gravy, From Eating Well September 2007 A cast-iron skillet is the perfect vessel for a simple roast chicken Almost every side dish, be it vegetables, legumes, pasta or rice, goes well with it Try Braised Fennel with Tomatoes & Potatoes or Tuscan Cabbage & Mushrooms , Fantastic!! We really enjoyed the chicken But were not that crazy about the gravy used a 10-inch cast iron skillet cuz I don’t have a 12- inch Worked just fine Hardest part was making sure the skin did not stick to the pan during step 4 Served with mashed potatoes and peas Yummy meal Thanks for posting Made for PAC spring 08′

Meanwhile, Mash the Remaining 1 Teaspoon Butter and Flour in a Small Bowl Until a Paste Forms. Place the Pan (use Caution, the Handle Will Be Hot) Over Medium-High Heat. Add Broth and Bring to a Simmer, Stirring to Scrape Up Any Browned Bits. Gradually Whisk in the Butter-Flour Paste a Few Bits at a Time, Until the Gravy Thickens, About 8 Minutes. Remove from the Heat and Let Stand For 5 Minutes, Allowing Any Fat to Rise to the Top. Skim Off the Fat With a Spoon. Carve the Chicken and Serve With the Gravy. Garnish With Parsley, If Desired. |
