Roast chicken with apples and potatoes

Today I share with you a chicken recipe that my mother usually prepares and that I love, a roast chicken with apples and potatoes. It is a very simple recipe, but I love the contrast of the chicken with the sweetness of the roasted apple.

The roasting time of the chicken will depend on its size, but in principle with 40 minutes of cooking a medium-sized chicken should be done.

My mother likes to poach the potatoes with a little onion in a pan before adding them to the chicken so she doesn't have to add excess liquid to the chicken pan and makes sure they are well done.

Ingredients

• 1 pollo
• 2-3 apples
• 4 potatoes
• 1 cebolla
• 1 glass of white wine
• olive oil
• shawl
• pepper

Preparation

1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
2. Wash the apples, cut one of them into 4 pieces and place it inside the chicken.
3. Place the chicken on an oven safe tray with a drizzle of olive oil and the white wine. The other apple can be left whole making a couple of cuts to make it well or cut into quarters.
4. Place in the oven preheated to 180ºC and bake for about 40 minutes.
5. While the chicken is cooking in the oven, peel the potatoes and dice them. Cut the onion into julienne strips.
6. In a frying pan with olive oil, poach the potatoes together with the onion until we see that they begin to be soft. Drain and reserve.
7. When there are about 10-15 minutes to go, take the tray out of the oven and add the potatoes with the onion that we had poached so that everything is done together.
8. If at any time we see that we lack some liquid to cook the chicken and potatoes, we can add a little water or broth.
