Procedure

[edit | edit source]
  1. Combine ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, cornbread, fruit, jelly, and cheese. Pour into a gallon (4 liter) size zip-top bag with a very small hole snipped in one of the bottom corners.
  2. Using a narrow boning knife, make a slit in one of the chicken breast's side, but not all the way through. Repeat until all chicken has been cut.
  3. Fill the slits ⅔ of the way full with the cornbread mixture. Brush the edges with honey and press together to seal. Tie closed with kitchen twine.
  4. Place the chicken in a large roasting pan. Brush with olive oil and season each piece liberally with remaining salt and pepper.
  5. Insert a probe thermometer in one of the pieces, but not touching stuffing. Place pan in the center of a 400°F (205°C) oven and cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C)
  6. Remove to a plate and cover with aluminum foil. Let rest 7 minutes before removing thermometer and untying. Serve warm.
