Onion and Tomato-Filled Chicken - Lök- och tomatfylld kyckling

ONION AND TOMATO-FILLED CHICKEN
Lök- och tomatfylld kyckling


Filled chicken tastes lovely and lasts much longer, plus you don't need that many accompaniments or side dishes - maybe just some salad and bread. This ranks a 5 out of 5 for us.

Serves 4

1 fresh or frozen chicken, approx 2 lbs
2 teaspoons salt
white pepper
1/2 teaspoons paprika
2 - 3 onions
4 tomatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons basil
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter or margarine



Rinse and wipe off the fresh chicken, slightly thaw the frozen bird. Remove the bag with the innards if it's sold with the chicken (in Sweden it mostly isn't sold any longer which is a pity).

Mix salt, pepper and paprika and rub the chicken with this. Peel the onions and slice the tomatoes. Cut it all in thin wedges. Mix onions and tomatoes and flavor with basil and salt.

Cover the bottom of a greased, oven-proof dish with tomato and onion wedges. Stuff the rest in the bird, which you put on top. Add fat in pieces here and there on the chicken.

Cover and fry in the oven at 350F for about 35 minutes, then remove the lid and fry for another 25 minutes or so. Increase the heat to 400F during the last 15 minutes. Make sure it's done before serving - the juices should be clear and transparent! 

Enjoy!
