Time 1h35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup cashew halves
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small onion, minced
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 cup rice
1 1/2 cups hot chicken soup
1/2 cup orange juice
salt and pepper
10 dried apricots, chopped
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon rind
4 lbs roasting chickens
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F
  • Toast the cashews lightly in the oven for 5 minutes
  • Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a saute pan

  • Add the apricots and raisins to the rice, stir gently with a fork
  • Cover and cook for 5 more minutes, until the rice is nearly tender
  • Stir in the cinnamon, lemon rind and cashews
  • Taste for seasoning and correct if necessary
  • Set aside to cool
  • Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper on all sides and in the cavity as well
  • Spoon enough of the stuffing into the chicken to fill it, packing lightly
  • Keep the extra stuffing at room temperature
  • Place the chicken in a roasting pan and roast in the oven for 1 hour

  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet and saute the leftover stuffing until hot, about 3 minutes
