Stuffed Chicken with Rice and Dried Fruits
Fragrant, tender chicken with delicious rice. Dried fruits and nuts give to the rice a nice sweet-sour taste. I also use lemon thyme which gives the rice a nice flavor and aroma. Take the apples out of the oven a little earlier than the chicken. You can put potatoes, carrots and other vegetables on baking sheet along with apples. Add a little white wine, and sprinkle the top of the chicken with paprika.
