How to Make Pot Roast Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large oven-safe casserole dish over high heat. Add one whole (approximately 3-4 lb) chicken and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes total, turning occasionally.
  3. Remove chicken from casserole and set aside.
  4. Add 4 slices bacon, chopped, to the casserole dish and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Add 1 large onion, chopped; 4 cloves garlic, minced; 2 stalks celery, chopped; and 2 sprigs fresh thyme. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in 1 (28 ounce) can of chopped tomatoes, undrained.
  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika.
  7. Add 2 cups chicken stock.
  8. Return the chicken to the casserole dish. Bring to a simmer on the stovetop.
  9. Cover the casserole dish and transfer to the preheated oven. Roast for 1 hour 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
