I recently added this recipe to my extensive collection and have already made it quite a few times. The chicken is always moist, and the pecans add a festive crunch to the stuffing. Ingredients:
1/4 cup each finely chopped carrot, celery and onion |
1/2 cup butter or margarine, divided |
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning |
1/4 teaspoon celery salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
2-1/2 cups unseasoned stuffing croutons |
2/3 cup chopped pecans |
1/2 to 3/4 cup chicken broth |
6 chicken breast halves (bone in) |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
salt to taste |
paprika |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, saute carrot, celery and onion in 1 tablespoon butter until crisp-tender. Add poultry seasoning, celery salt and pepper; mix well. Remove from the heat. Add croutons and pecans; toss Stir in enough broth to moisten. Divide stuffing into six equal amounts. Loosen skin on one side of each chicken breast. Place stuffing under skin. Arrange chicken with stuffing side up in a ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Melt remaining butter. Stir in lemon juice; drizzle over chicken. Sprinkle with salt and paprika. Cover and bake at 350° for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 minutes longer or until chicken is browned and juices run clear. Yield: 6 servings.
