Here is a great chicken recipe to try for one of your next meals.

Baked Chicken with homemade stuffing

You will need:

1 whole chicken

3/4 cup butter or margarine

2 large celery stalks chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)

about 6-8 cups soft bread cubes (we like to use homemade bread)

2 tsp poultry seasoning

1 tsp salt

1/2 to 1 cup fresh mushrooms chopped

1 cup cooked wild rice

Rinse chicken and pat the inside dry with a paper towel.  Set aside while you prepare the stuffing.

Stuffing--In pan, melt butter or margarine and cook celery, stirring occasionally until tender. Remove from heat.  In large bowl, toss celery mixture and remaining ingredients.

Stuff chicken with stuffing and put any remaining in a casserole dish to be baked separately.

Once the chicken is stuffed place it in oven at 325 degrees and bake for about 2 1/2 hours or until internal temperature reaches 170 degrees.
