California Apricot Stuffed Chicken
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 green onion, chopped (1/4 cup)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup stuffing mix
2 whole chicken breasts, boned, skin on
4 fresh California apricots, halved and pitted (about 1/2 lb.)
1/2 cup apricot jam
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
Serves: 4
Combine butter, onions, 1/4 teaspoon ginger and stuffing mix.
Place chicken skin down and pound with mallet to flatten somewhat.
Spoon 1/2 stuffing mixture in a strip along center of each
breast. Place apricot halves on top of stuffing.
Wrap chicken around, enclosing filling inside. Tie each
chicken roll with a string every two inches. Barbecue
on rack about 5 1/2 inches above medium-hot coals for 15 minutes,

remaining 1/4 teaspoon ginger. Brush apricot mixture
over chicken rolls, continue cooking 5 to 10 minutes longer
or until done.
