Health and fertility benefits of Cranberry-Stuffed Chicken Recipe

Researchers believe that cranberries contain substances that prevent infection-causing bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls. However, store-bought cranberry juice is typically all sugar - so make sure to stick with straight cranberries.

Ingredients

1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onion
2/3 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 garlic clove, minced
3 cups herb-seasoned stuffing croutons
1 cup crushed corn bread stuffing or crumbled corn bread
1-1/2 to 2 cups chicken broth
1 roasting chicken (5 to 7 pounds)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/4 teaspoon rubbed sage

Instructions

In a large skillet, saute the celery, onion and cranberries in 1/2 cup butter until tender. Stir in the garlic, croutons, corn bread stuffing and enough broth to moisten; set aside.
Place chicken with breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Combine salt, pepper, poultry seasoning and sage; sprinkle over inside and outside of chicken. Loosely stuff with cranberry mixture. Melt remaining butter; brush over chicken.
Bake, uncovered, at 350 ° for 2-1/2 to 3 hours or until a thermometer reads 180 ° for chicken and 165 ° for the stuffing, basting occasionally with pan juices. Remove chicken from oven; tent with foil. Let stand 15 minutes before removing stuffing and carving.
