Dublin Pub Chicken

March 15, 2022 by Pam

Dublin Pub Chicken takes it’s inspiration from the warm and comforting pubs of Dublin where you can feed your body and soul at the same time.

 

About Dublin Pub Chicken

Ah, the Dublin Pubs. I mean, really, what could be better?

In Ireland Public Houses aren’t just bars, they are welcoming places where people gather to hear some wonderful music, watch the bartenders pour a perfect glass of Guinness, enjoy a nip or two and eat some pretty decent food.
Good solid healthy food. Like, for instance, Dublin Pub Chicken, one of the healthiest baked chicken recipes I’ve ever eaten.
A lot of the pubs have what they call the “Joint of the Day.”
I remember one pub in Dublin, just off of Grafton Street, where their joint of the day was chicken. The Bleeding Horse  pub  featured a soul-warming dish that they called Irish Chicken.
Very simple and to the point, it featured chicken and bacon.
As well as healthy vegetables like cabbage, potatoes and carrots. Just the right kind of dish to stave off the cold outside.
This was in October, and the wind was ‘galing’ up a storm. So much so that umbrellas were turned inside out.
Mine included.
But in the pub, with it’s rich dark woods, all was comfy and warm. A safe haven.
The aroma of that chicken dish just filled the place when we walked in so of course we had to order it.
As  we waited for the food to come, my husband George sipped on his Guinness. And me, well I ordered a glass of wine.
Everyone was having a grand time, including two tables of entire families.
After a brief time, the waiter brought our dinners.
The Irish Chicken was served in large bowls that were filled with perfectly cooked healthy vegetables and topped with roasted chicken.
I don’t know if it was the food itself, or the warmth of the pub with it’s friendly atmosphere, but that dish was absolutely memorable.
So when we arrived home, I wanted to bring Ireland back with me and tried to recreate that wonderful dish.
I call it Dublin Pub Chicken, because that’s exactly what it was.

Ingredients of Dublin Pub Chicken

  • Chicken thighs
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Thyme
  • Sage
  • Flour

How to Make Dublin Pub Chicken

Start with cutting up bacon and rendering it down.
Scooping out the crisp bacon, then add seasoned chicken thighs to brown in all that deliciousness.
After removing the chicken add shallots, potatoes and carrots and let the caramelization magic work.
Remove them after a minute or two and add sliced cabbage to the juices and give quick toss of those flavors.
Then in an oven proof pan, add the cabbage, the potatoes, the shallots and the carrots.
Sprinkle the bacon over it all and finally top it with the browned chicken thighs.

Bake it for an hour for all those flavors to mingle and cook together.
The end result? Well, it was almost Dublin. Nothing is like Dublin, but it was very close.
