Boneless stuffed chicken
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. What could be more beautiful and delicious than a boneless stuffed chicken made at home? It is somewhat labor-intensive to prepare, as the whole chicken needs to be completely deboned. Everything else is simple, and the stuffing can vary widely. The finished dish can be served at the table.

1. The most important part of preparing this dish is preparing the chicken. First, make a cut along the middle of the back, then cut through the skin and slightly pierce the meat itself.

2. Fold back the left side and slightly pull the skin. Then, cut the meat near the ribs and proceed to the thigh joint. Once you locate the joint, separate the thigh bone and proceed similarly with the other parts.

3. The next step will be removing the ribs and backbone in the same manner. Also, by cutting under the breastbone, you'll be able to remove the fillets. Once all the bones are removed, the meat can easily be turned inside out. When you have a boneless carcass, it will be easy to stuff the chicken. All the leftover bones can be used for making broth.
