Citrus Zest Mix - 1 tablespoon

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare all the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 356°F.

Step 2

Finely chop half of the thyme leaves.

Step 3

Combine the chopped thyme with Hochland culinary cream cheese for a delicate, creamy flavor. Add the crushed garlic, lemon zest, and season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Season the chicken with salt and pepper, both inside and out.

Step 5

Using your fingers, gently separate the skin from the meat in the breast area of the chicken to create a pocket. Place the Hochland cooking cream cheese filling under the skin, spreading it evenly. If all the filling doesn't fit, use the remaining mixture to coat the inside of the chicken.

Step 6

Cut the potatoes in half without peeling them. If the potatoes are very small, you can leave them whole. Parboil in boiling salted water for 3 minutes.

Step 7

Peel the celery and cut it into large cubes, and also peel the carrot and slice it into thick diagonal rounds.

Step 8

Place the celery root, carrots, and parboiled potatoes on a baking sheet.

Step 9

Lightly season the vegetables with salt and pepper, sprinkle with the remaining thyme leaves, place the chicken on top, add pieces of butter, and transfer to the oven for 50 to 60 minutes.
