Chicken and stove top stuffing recipes easy

Cooking stuffed poultry, pork chops, and other meat can be somewhat riskier than cooking them unstuffed. Bacteria can survive in stuffing that has not reached the safe minimum internal temperature of 165 °F, possibly resulting in foodborne illness.

Be sure the chicken reaches 165˚F in the center on a thermometer. Oven – this is the preferred method. Preheat oven to 325˚F, cover with foil to prevent drying out, and bake 10-15 minutes until hot.

1/2-Cup servings: 6 (Double the amounts for 12 servings); Water: 1-1/2 cups; Margarine or butter: 3 tbsp; Stuffing mix: 3 cups; Microwave time: 6 to 7 min. Directions: Saucepan: Bring water and margarine or butter to boil in medium saucepan. Stir in stuffing mix; cover.
