How To Make chicken pot roast
-
1Preheat the oven to 350°F. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
-
2Melt 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.

Return the chicken and any juices and the broth to the casserole, arranging the pieces atop the vegetables. Cover and bake in the oven for 1 hour, basting occasionally if needed. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
