The Perfect Chicken Dinner
RECIPE Ingredients: Brine: 4 cups water 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup kosher salt Bread: 2 1/2 teaspoons dry active yeast 2 teaspoons white sugar 1 1/4 cups warm water 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon kosher salt Chicken: 1 whole organic chicken, deboned 4 tablespoons salted butter 3 tablespoons chopped rosemary 3 tablespoons chopped thyme 8 ounces ham 10 ounces sliced Swiss cheese Salt and pepper, to taste Steps: 1. In a wide, shallow dish, combine brine ingredients. 2. Place the deboned chicken in the brine and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours. 3. In a large mixing bowl, mix yeast, sugar and warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes until the yeast has activated. Add in the flour a little at a time, making sure to incorporate before adding more. Add the salt, cover bowl with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for an hour or until doubled in size. 4. When dough has doubled in size, remove onto a floured surface and delicately shape into a ball, return to bowl, and allow to rise once more until doubled in size, about an hour. 5. Remove the chicken from the brine and thoroughly pat dry. Mix the butter with the herbs and press underneath the skin of the chicken. Season with salt and pepper inside and out. Stuff chicken with ham and cheese slices. 6. Preheat oven to 360 degrees. 7. After dough has doubled in size again, remove from bowl and place on a floured surface. Lightly stretch the dough (this should be very easy) to a 1 foot by 1 foot square. Delicately lay the dough over a 9 by 13 pan, place the chicken in the center of the dough, and fold the dough over starting from one corner and working your way around, sealing with a little water as you go. 8. Bake for 1 1/2 hours. Move loaf to cutting board, slice and serve. ___ Subscribe to Tastemade: http://taste.md/1QsXIWq LIKE us on Facebook: http://taste.md/1Zf0Bve FOLLOW us on Instagram: http://taste.md/1OaAv4P FIND us on Snapchat Discover: http://taste.md/1P9UuDM
