Preheat oven to 200°C fan-forced.
Onto a chopping board, add parsley, rosemary, spring onion, lemon zest, sage and garlic. Chop as fine as you can! Add olive oil & salt and continue chopping until very fine. Halve this mixture and set aside.
In a deep pan, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add diced brown onion and cook for 3 minutes. Add half of the herb mixture and cook for a further 3-4 minutes. Add GF crumb and the GF bread with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Stir for 1-2 minutes. Add chicken stock and lemon squeeze and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
At the tip of the chicken breast, lift up the skin and separate from the breast (without tearing!). Pull gently to separate.
Place one small stick of butter down each breast. With the remaining herb mixture, divide it between both breast pockets and then all over the chicken.
Spoon the stuffing into the chicken cavity (bake any extra stuffing in a small covered dish alongside for the last 30 minutes). Add chicken into a deep baking dish and pour over ½ cup of chicken stock.
Add potatoes, carrots or any other vegetable you like around the chicken (or into a separate baking dish) and sprinkle with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.
Roast for about 1 hour per 1kg of chicken (about 2 hours for a 2kg chicken), or until the juices run clear and it reaches 75°C in the thickest part of the thigh and in the centre of the stuffing.
Leah's notes
Tip: Every 30 minutes, remove from oven and using a spoon, spoon the pan juices over the top for 1 minute. This keeps it super juicy!
Always check the label to ensure the ingredients in this recipe are right for your needs, particularly if you have food allergies.
