Chicken with Apple-Sausage Stuffing

Chicken From The Oven

Prep time:

20 minutes

Cooking time:

1 hour

“Some sausages use fillers, such as cereal, soybean flour and dried milk solids, to use less meat. Be sure to read the package labels to guarantee the most value for your money.”

Ingredients

Serves 4

4 ounces bulk pork sausage
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons chopped green onions
3/4 cup herb-seasoned croutons
1/4 cup chopped peeled apple
1 tablespoon raisins
2 tablespoons chicken broth
1 (3 1/2-pound) chicken
1 teaspoon salt

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add sausage. Cook, stirring continually, until browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes.
2
Heat a medium skillet over medium heat; add butter. Add green onions. Sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Mix croutons, apple, raisins, broth, green onions and sausage in a large bowl.
3
Sprinkle inside of chicken with 1/2 of salt. Fill cavity with stuffing; close with skewers. Sprinkle outside of chicken with remaining salt. Place chicken breast side down in a roasting pan.
4
Roast chicken for 30 minutes; turn. Roast, basting frequently, until meat thermometer registers 185°F or until juices run clear when meat is pierced with a knife, about 30 minutes.

Cookin' xpress!

Since stuffing is such a popular dish, consider doubling the recipe and cooking the extra in a covered casserole for 45 minutes. You can freeze the extra unbaked stuffing to save time when you prepare this recipe again.

Artichoke and Green Bean Bake

You can cut the cost of this casserole by using only one can of artichokes and an extra can of Italian green beans. Simply combine the artichokes and extra beans for the artichoke layer.
