Elegant Stuffed Chicken Quarters

glitter's Note:

I received this recipe from a booklet I purchased from a ladies hospital volunteer group many years ago. Simple recipes but good.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 50 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 medium shredded zucchini
• 3 slices white bread , torn in small pieces
• 1 egg
• ½ cup shredded swiss cheese
• 3 lbs frying chickens , quartered
• salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons honey (approx.)

Directions:

1. To prepare the stuffing you will need a 2-qt. saucepan. Over medium heat melt your butter. Add the zucchini and cook only until tender, stirring frequently. Remove from heat and add bread, and stir in egg, cheese pepper and 1/2 teaspoons salt.
2. Preheat the oven to 400*
3. Loosen the skin on each quarter. This can easily be done by pushing your fingers between the skin and the meat to form a pocket. Spoon the stuffing into each pocket.
4. Place the chicken in a 13 x 9 pan.
5. Bake 50 minute or until fork tender.
6. To serve, remove onto a warm platter. Brush with honey and sprinkle lightly with salt.
7. Enjoy!
