Stuffed Cranberry And Rice Chicken is one of those recipes that is so easy. However, the simple ingredients produce a main dish that has amazing flavour, texture and aroma and ready in 30 minutes. What more is needed? The cranberries and brown rice create a stuffing in effect used inside the rolled up chicken breasts. Hence the reason to bash the living daylights out of the breasts prior to stuffing and baking. I normally serve this with a small portion of brown rice and a very simple salad. This makes a perfect main dish that always receives thumbs up from young and old.
