Whole Roast Chicken Braised Over Butter Beans, Fennel & Shallots in One Pan
A whole roast chicken is cooked directly over a bed of butter beans, fennel, shallots, white wine, and stock — all in a single oven-proof dish. The beans soak up the chicken juices as it roasts, and the dish is finished with lemon, Parmesan, and wilted spinach for a rich, family-style pan sauce. Perfect for anyone who wants maximum flavour with minimal washing up.
