Amazing Cinnamon Apple Rice Stuffed Chicken Gfcf image

This is a different take on a traditional Persian dish that I love. My sister, Naomi and I came up with the recipe together. We were trying to use ingredients that would not only taste great for kids and adults alike but also follow a gluten free casein free diet for her son with Autism. When she served this for dinner to her husband, who is very picky, he exclaimed, "Wow,Amazing! You have to make this for Christmas dinner. The entire chicken disappeared very quickly and he was disappointed that she had not made two!

Time 2h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup long-grain rice
1 (3 -4 lb) roasting chickens
2 teaspoons salt (divided)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine

2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup orange-flavored dried cranberries

  • In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium heat. Add the uncooked rice, cinnamon, orange peel, 1 tsp salt and pepper. Stir fry for 2 minutes.
  • Add chicken stock, cover and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Please make sure your to cover the rice, it needs to be cooked prior to stuffing into the chicken.

  • Stuff the chicken with the rice stuffing mixture. Preferred method: Melt 2 tbsp butter and pour over stuffed chicken. Rub melted butter over all areas of the chicken. (If making the casein free version use margarine instead of the butter.).
  • Cover with foil or baking lid. Roast for 1 1/2 hours till tender.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of cinnamon and sugar in the stuffing.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. The stuffing is also a great way to use up leftover rice.

I'm not a fan of cinnamon, so I omitted it from the stuffing. The chicken was still delicious.

I tried this recipe for the first time last night and it was a disaster. The chicken was dry and the stuffing was undercooked.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it still came out moist and flavorful.
