Recipe

Don’t want the hassle of roasting a whole turkey this Thanksgiving? This dish of roasted chicken thighs + vegetable shred stuffing is a total winner! When prepping celery and onion with the Geedel Vegetable Chopper, you’ll realize how versatile this manual food chopper is — 4 cranks turn veggies into fine strips, no need for a separate onion chopper or food processor. The chicken thighs are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, while the stuffing soaks up all the meaty juices, blending fresh vegetable flavor with fragrant herbs. The whole family will love it! 

 Ingredients (Serves 6)

- 6 boneless chicken thighs (approx. 800g)

- 2 celery stalks (leaves removed)

- 1 onion (peeled)

- 200g sourdough bread (torn into small pieces)

- 1 apple (peeled)

- 150ml chicken broth

- 30g butter

 - 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

- 1 sprig fresh thyme

- 1.5 tsp salt

- 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1.Shred the Vegetables & Apple

Place celery and apple into the Geedel Vegetable Chopper, crank 4 times each for fine strips. Add onion and crank 3 times for thin shreds — as a professional vegetable chopper, it produces evenly cut shreds, ensuring the stuffing cooks uniformly without undercooked bits. Use the salad spinner to dry the vegetable shreds thoroughly, preventing the stuffing from getting too soggy.

2. Make the Stuffing

Melt butter in a pan, sauté onion shreds and celery strips until fragrant. Add apple strips and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in sourdough bread pieces and torn fresh herb leaves, season with salt and black pepper. Pour in 100ml chicken broth, then use the manual vegetable chopper’s mixing function to gently combine — ensuring the bread soaks up the broth evenly, resulting in a moist yet not sticky texture.

3. Roast the Chicken Thighs

Marinate the chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, and chopped fresh herbs for 20 minutes. Arrange them in a baking tray, spread the stuffing around the thighs, and drizzle with the remaining chicken broth. Bake in a 200℃ oven for 35 minutes until the chicken skin turns golden and crispy, and the stuffing is soaked with meaty juices. The vegetable shreds are tender, and the sourdough adds a rich aroma — no need for extra side dishes, saving time and effort.

Conclusion

The star of this hearty main dish is the Geedel Vegetable Chopper. As a multi-functional hand food chopper, its shredding and mixing functions handle the stuffing in one go, eliminating the hassle of switching between multiple tools. The stuffing is flavorful and clump-free, while the chicken thighs are juicy and tender — it’s a time-saving, crowd-pleasing dish perfect for Thanksgiving.
