Ingredients

Chicken:

  • One 6-pound whole fryer chicken
  • Olive oil, for drizzling
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 5 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 5 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 lemon, cut in quarters

Salad:

  • 3/4 cup 2-percent Greek Yogurt
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
  • 2 celery ribs, diced
  • 1 small red onion, minced
  • 2 lemons, zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
  • One 6-ounce can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Sandwich Build:

  • Four 12-inch whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 pint broccoli sprouts
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, sliced

Directions

For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and adjust a rack to the middle position.

Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with a wire rack, or in a roasting pan with a rack, and drizzle the chicken with olive oil. Generously sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Pack the cavity with the garlic, thyme and lemons. Place the chicken breast-side down on the rack.

Roast the chicken for the first hour at 400 degrees F, and then turn up the heat to 450 degrees F and roast until the breast temperature registers 160 degrees F and the skin is a golden brown, for the last 30 to 45 minutes. Then set the chicken aside to rest and cool.

When easy to handle, remove the legs, wings and any dark meat, reserving to eat for your next meal or to snack on immediately.

Remove the skin from the breast meat. Using your hands, shred the breast meat and place in a bowl. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

For the salad: Mix together the yogurt, mayo, mustard, walnuts, cranberries, celery, onions, lemon zest and juice, tarragon and water chestnuts and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Fold in the shredded chicken.

For the sandwich build: Layer the whole wheat wraps with some broccoli sprouts and tomato slices and then top with the chicken salad. Wrap and enjoy!

    The yogurt seemed a bit sour. Not my favorite but the chicken was delicious.

    I watched this episode and thought the roast chicken looked awesome. I made it last night...holy smokes! I added water to the roasting pan to try to cut down on some of the smoke. That helped. It came out beautiful golden brown and it tasted good, but to be honest, no better than the rotisserie chicken at grocery store. And since that is cheaper and easier, I'll be going that route next time.
