Prepare the Chicken Broth:
- Get out a very large pan and place the chicken in it.
- Tuck the chicken wings around the bird, along with the onions, leeks, celery, tomatoes, black peppercorns, parsley sprigs, and bay leaves.
- Cover with cold water and bring to a boil.
- Skim off any froth that rises to the top, then reduce the heat so the liquid simmers gently.
- Allow to simmer for approximately one hour.
-
-
Prepare the Salsa Verde:
- While the chicken is simmering, prepare the salsa verde.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the anchovy fillets, capers, Dijon mustard, olive oil, parsley sprigs, mint leaves, and lemon juice.
- Blend until smooth, adding olive oil gradually until the desired consistency is reached. Aim for a thick slush-like texture.
-
Serve:
- Once the chicken is fully cooked, turn off the heat and remove the chicken from the broth.
- Transfer the chicken to a shallow dish and pour some of the hot broth over it.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil or an overturned bowl and allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes.
- After resting, carefully carve the chicken and serve on plates with a small amount of broth and a generous spoonful of the prepared salsa verde.
