Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup breadcrumbs (from about 5 pieces white bread, crusts removed)
1/4 cup dark raisins
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 dried apricots, small diced (raisin size)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine the breadcrumbs, raisins, butter, chives, salt, apricots and lemon zest in a bowl. Beat together with a wooden spoon to form a smooth mixture.
  • Loosen the skin on the breasts of the chicken using your fingers, then distribute the stuffing under the skin on each side.
  • Place the chicken into a large saute pan and roast for 30 minutes.

This recipe was okay. The chicken was a bit dry, but the stuffing was good.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this recipe didn't turn out well for me. The chicken was tough and the stuffing was dry.
