Apple Stuffed Chicken Recipe

  • 1 (6 ounce) package chicken-flavor stuffing mix
  • 1 (3 1/2) pound broiler-fryer
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 cup chopped, peeled apple
  • 1/4 cup chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • GLAZE:
  • 1/2 cup apple jelly
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  1. Prepare stuffing according to package directions. Meanwhile, sprinkle inside of chicken with salt and pepper; rub outside with oil.
  2. In a large bowl, mix stuffing with the apple, celery, nuts, raisins and lemon peel. Lightly stuff chicken. Place chicken breast side up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 1 hour.
  3. In a saucepan, combine the glaze ingredients. Bring to a simmer; heat, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Brush over chicken. Bake 20-30 minutes longer or until chicken juices run clear, brushing occasionally with glaze. Cover with foil and let stand for 10-15 minutes. Remove stuffing, then carve chicken.
