3 Tbsp. Margarine or butter, cut up

1 pkg. (6 oz.) STOVE TOP Stuffing Mix for Chicken

1 Roasting chicken or capon (5 lb.)

1/4 tsp. Dried thyme leaves or dried tarragon leaves

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 325°F. Mix hot water and margarine in large bowl until margarine is melted. Add stuffing mix; stir just until moistened. Set aside. (Do not stuff chicken until ready to bake.)

STUFF chicken lightly with prepared stuffing; close openings with skewers and string. Place, breast-side up, on rack in baking pan; sprinkle with thyme.

BAKE 1 hour 40 min. or until chicken is cooked through (180°F) and stuffing is heated through (165ºF), basting occasionally with the pan juices.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Serving Suggestion

Serve with sauteed vegetables and a glass of fat-free milk.

Variation

Substitute a 3- to 4-lb. roasting chicken for the 5-lb. roasting chicken; stuff as directed. Spoon any remaining stuffing into small baking dish; cover and refrigerate until ready to bake. Bake chicken 1 hour to 1 hour 20 min. or until chicken is cooked through, basting occasionally and placing the remaining stuffing in the oven for the last 30 min. of the chicken baking time.

Substitute

Prepare as directed, using STOVE TOP Stuffing Mix Northen Style with Long Grain & Wild Rice.
