If your description is accurate, and it hasn't been heavily tweaked
post-primary source, I don't think it's in either the Danish
Harpestraeng MS, as translated by Rudolf Grewe, or in the 1931 edition
of its Icelandic descendant, reprinted by HG Cariadoc.

Apart from the aforementioned chicken-in-a-rock, the only candidate I
can think of is Blomaeth Høns.

"RECIPE 21 -- (BLOMAETH HØNS)

One should take chickens and scald them and tear them apart and cut all
the meat from the bone and shred it small. Then boil the bones and take
off the broth and wind the meat around the bones. Sprinkle some powder
of cinnamon on it and then place it in a dough that is made of wheat
flour and a beaten egg and then cook it in butter or lard. It is called
'blomaeth høns'."

Could that be it?
