Chicken stuffed with rice and apples
Description
For some reason, whenever we prepare this kind of chicken, we usually stuff it with buckwheat, although there are many other interesting fillings available. I suggest you try one nice option and make chicken stuffed with rice and apples at home. Actually, this filling seems quite original to me, and besides, it's rather light and juicy, so you won't feel heavy after dinner. So, if you enjoy roasting poultry for holidays (or just for fun), give this simple recipe for chicken stuffed with rice and apples a try.
