Chicken Pot Roast

This classic chicken pot roast is a comforting, one-pot meal that celebrates simple, high-quality ingredients. By browning the chicken pieces first, you lock in the natural juices, creating a tender and succulent finish that pairs beautifully with the earthy sweetness of carrots and aromatic tarragon. The slow-cooking process allows the flavours to meld together into a savoury, fragrant dish that feels indulgent while remaining light.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe prioritises lean protein and fibrous vegetables without the need for heavy flours or thickeners. It is a nutritious choice for a midweek family dinner or a relaxed Sunday lunch. Serve this wholesome roast alongside a generous helping of steamed green beans or a crisp garden salad for a perfectly balanced, heart-healthy meal.

Ingredients for Chicken Pot Roast

  • 1 chicken (1.6kg), in 8 pieces, rinsed and patted dry

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 475ml diced carrots

  • 1 large onion, halved and slivered

  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon (or 1 teaspoon dried)

  • 2 tablespoons flat-leaf parsley, for garnish

How to make Chicken Pot Roast

  1. Preheat the oven to 177°C. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper.

  2. Melt the butter with the oil in a large, heavy ovenproof casserole over medium heat. Brown the chicken in batches, about 8 minutes per batch, being careful not to pierce the skin. Remove to a plate.

  3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the carrots, onion, garlic, and tarragon; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Return the chicken and any juices to the casserole, arranging the pieces atop the vegetables. Cover and bake in the oven for 1 hour, basting occasionally. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
