Baked Stuffed Whole Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
- 3½ cups (875 ml) low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 large yellow onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 large stalk celery, chopped
- 1¼ cups long grain rice
- 1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 whole chicken
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Method
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F(190°C).
Step 2
In a medium-size cooking pot over moderately low heat, bring 3 cups of the chicken broth, the onion, and celery to a simmer. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the rice, apricots, and thyme, and cook, covered for 20 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. Stir in 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice and set aside.
Step 4
Rub the chicken with the remaining lemon juice and pepper, and spoon the rice-and-apricot stuffing loosely into the body cavity. Spoon the extra stuffing into a small casserole that has been coated with the cooking spray; drizzle with the remaining chicken broth and cover with aluminum foil. Truss the chicken, place chicken breasts side up on a lightly greased rack in a roasting pan, and roast, uncovered for 1¼-1½ hours or until a leg moves easily in the hip socket. Place the casserole of extra stuffing in the oven for the final 30 minutes of roasting.
Step 5
Remove the roast chicken, along with the casserole of extra stuffing, from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes. Transfer the roast chicken to a warm platter and remove the trussing strings. Serve with green vegetables.
