  The things that make this recipe different are the stuffing and the garlic cream. The stuffing is lovely (I didn't add the chicken livers), and the garlic cream was too bland (will add much more garlic next time). You could use both with an ordinary roast chicken and veg and it would be much the same. I didn't find that poaching in wine with the bouquet garni (I used fresh herbs) and onion added much, if anything, to the overall flavour of the chicken or the veg. If I did it this way again, I would add stock to the poaching liquid (the knorr pots are good) and maybe thicken the liquid up at the end to make a gravy, as the liquid itself was too thin.
