Chicken dishes are suitable for both everyday and festive meals. For example, stuffed poultry is traditionally served for the New Year's feast. We offer you several recipes for chicken stuffed with different fillings.
Chicken stuffed with fresh or frozen cranberries
You will need:
- chicken - 1 kg;
- cranberries - 2-2, 5 cups;
- sugar - 100 g;
- white bread - 200 g;
- butter - 70 g;
- salt and spices.
Prepare the chicken carcass (process, wash, dry with a paper towel), rub with salt and spices. Then prepare the "minced meat" from the berries. Squeeze the cranberries a little with a spoon to let the juice flow, add sugar to the berries and leave for 40-45 minutes.
Make croutons from white bread. To do this, you need to cut the bread into cubes and fry in a pan in butter until crusty.
Mix berries with breadcrumbs, add spices. Stuff the chicken with the resulting filling and sew up the hole so that the minced meat stays inside.
Bake the chicken in the oven at 180 degrees for 30-40 minutes, periodically pouring over the resulting berry juice.
Chicken stuffed with rice and fruit
You will need:
- chicken - 1 kg;
- prunes - 200 g;
- raisins - 200 g;
- rice - 300 g;
- fresh large apples - 3 pieces;
- spices;
- sour cream and mayonnaise for the sauce.

Mix mayonnaise, sour cream and spices. Grease the chicken with the resulting sauce and bake in the oven at 180 degrees until tender.
