This recipe is an adaptation of the one prepared by my brother-in-law, Richard at the cottage a few years back.

Ingredients:

Stuffing:

  • 75 ml raisins
  • 60 ml red wine
  • 15 ml butter
  • 75 ml pine nuts (or chopped walnuts)
  • 125 ml wild rice
  • 250 white rice
  • 3 chopped green onions
  • 625 ml chicken stock

Chicken:

  • 400 ml apricot jelly or orange marmalade
  • One can of concentrated orange juice
  • One can of water
  • One can of apricots
  • 4 Cornish hens, washed and dried
  • 175 ml water
  • 8 slices of bacon

Method:

Stuffing:

  • Soak the raisins in the wine for about 30 minutes
  • Sauté in butter the green onions, raisins and pine nuts
  • Add rice and sauté another two minutes
  • Add chicken stock and boil for 13 to 15 minutes so the rice is not completely cooked

Chicken:

  • In a saucepan, melt the jelly, concentrated juice and water. Do not bring to a boil
  • Cut half the apricots in small chunk and add them to the marinade
  • Marinade chicken for 3 to 4 hours, turning them several time so they can absorb the juice
  • Put he stuffing in the chicken
  • Place the chicken in a oven dish, pour marinade and the 175 ml of water
  • Place two bacon slices on each chicken with the leftover apricots
  • Cover with a loose aluminium sheet and bake for 90 minutes at 3500 F. Pour the marinade on top of the chicken several times while cooking (you may add some water if necessary)
  • When chicken are cooked, reserve the chicken and pour the marinade in a sauce pan
  • Remove fat from the marinade and bring to a boil for a few minutes.
