The Only Keto Roast Chicken & Stuffing Recipe You Need - Aussie Keto Queen (1)

Isn’t everyroast chicken recipe a keto roast chicken recipe you may ask? Well, if you are just roasting the chicken, then yes! But this recipe ramps up the keto game with herb butter and a high fat stuffing that will have everyone coming back for more.

In my research for this recipe,I learnt that a lot of American recipes cook the stuffing in a casserole dish on the side. What? It’s stuffing, made for stuffing! Maybe it’s a quantity thing, that bird can only hold so much, but I found this quantity was enough for 4, so stuff away.

Alternatively, you can just cook the chicken with the herb butter for a no fuss dinner.

Prep Time 20 mins

Cook Time 1 hr 20 mins

Total Time 1 hr 40 mins

Ingredients

  • 1.6kg Whole Chicken Excess fat trimmed, washed and dried
  • 1 teaspoon salt and pepper

Herb Butter

  • 4 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Stuffing

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic paste
  • 1/2 brown onion diced
  • 75 grams mushrooms sliced
  • 75 grams bacon diced
  • 1/2 cup pecans chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sage
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper
  • 2 - 3 tablespoons almond meal
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C /392F

  • Prepare the chicken by removing excess fat around the cavity, washing inside and out and patting dry with paper towel. Season inside and out with salt and pepper.

  • Combine the herb butter ingredients. Using your hands, starting at the cavity, gently put your hand under the skin pushing the butter up as far as you can go and spreading it around. Be careful not to break the skin.

  • Prepare the stuffing. In a large frying pan, add the butter and garlic paste and put over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the onion and saute until the onion is translucent.

  • Add the mushrooms and cook through. Place the mushrooms in a mixing bowl, keeping any butter in the pan.

  • Add the diced bacon and pecans and turn the heat to medium-high, cooking until the bacon is crispy and pecans lightly browned.

  • Add the spices and stir to combine, cook for 30 seconds. Add the bacon and pecans to the bowl with the mushrooms, along with the almond meal and egg and stir to combine.

  • Depending on the water content of your mushrooms and bacon, you should need about 2 - 3 tablespoons of almond meal until it is just holding together.

  • Stuff the chicken cavity with the mixture once cool enough to handle. Tie the legs with kitchen twine to help keep the stuffing in.

  • Place the chicken, breast side up on a roasting tray with wire rack.

  • Roast for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or approx 30 minutes per 500 grams for a bigger chicken.

  • Check doneness with a thermometer inserted into 2 - 3 different point on the bird, including in the stuffing. You want a temperature of 75 degrees c.

  • Remove from the oven and tent with foil, resting for 5 minutes before carving.

In the US south we use dressing and not stuffing with our birds. They are two different dishes. Dressing is baked in its own pan. Both are wonderful.
