Directions

150 min.
1. Step

Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. I guarantee this step is important as a preheated oven ensures even cooking of the chicken.

2. Step

Clean the chicken, remove excess fat and then dry it well. I recommend you do this, because the flavors will soak in better.

3. Step

Prepare the filling: In a frying pan, sauté the chopped onion and garlic in a little olive oil until soft and translucent. Add the serrano ham and chopped walnuts with the diced apple. Then add the bread crumbs and mix well.

4. Step

Let it cool a bit and then add the beaten egg (this will act as glue for your stuffing, making it mix evenly into the chicken). Make sure it is well combined.

5. Step

Stuff the chicken with this preparation. Do not overfill the chicken as the stuffing expands during cooking and could break the skin of the bird.

6. Step

Sew the chicken so that the stuffing does not escape. My recommendation is to use kitchen twine because it is heat resistant and will not break during cooking.

7. Step

Drizzle the chicken with olive oil, salt and pepper. Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and juicy.

8. Step

Serve in thick slices so that each portion has a good amount of filling.

9. Step

You will enjoy preparing and eating this stuffed chicken. You can serve it with a fresh salad or mashed potatoes.
