Preparation

Step 1

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Pound out chicken using a meat tendorizer, or something hard such as the bottom of a glass. Tenders should be thin, 1/8-1/4 of an inch, but be careful not to get them too thin or make holes in them.

Put water, orange juice and olive oil in a sauce pan and let come to a boil. Pour in stuffing mix. Let liquids dissolve in stuffing. Turn burner off. Add orange zest and pecans (if you are using) and fold into stuffing. Let stuffing cool a little, so you can use your hands.

Pre-heat oven to 350. Grease a casserole dish (I used my 9 X 13 inch stone) to put the chicken in once rolled.

Put a spoonful of stuffing on top of chicken tender, toward the middle. Start at one end and roll stuffing up inside chicken. Place chicken in dish with the sides out. It is okay if the stuffing looks like it is going to fall out, it will stay. Once all the tenders have been rolled up, sprinkle with salt, pepper and olive oil. I then added the left over stuffing on top of the chicken. Cover with foil and bake 25-30 minutes or until chicken is done.

Let chicken set, covered for 10 minutes after pulling it out of the oven.

While waiting on chicken to set, place juice from the orange, orange juice, marmalade, salt, pepper and craisins in a small sauce pan. Let come to a boil. Add heavy cream. Let simmer. Taste the sauce and add ingredients as desired.

Drizzle on top of chicken.
