Cooking Directions
Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Pound chicken breasts with meat mallet to increase size by half. Mix apple, raisins, almonds, parsley, salt and pepper. Place a spoonful of stuffing in center of each breast and roll up. (There will be stuffing left over; save 1 to 1-1/2 cups of this for rice.) Place breasts seam side down on baking sheet coated with Watkins Cooking Spray. Sprinkle with paprika and bake 40-50 minutes or until chicken tests done. Meanwhile, prepare sauce: Stir curry into yogurt; set aside to let flavors develop. Prepare rice.

Curried Rice
Heat oil in heavy lidded saucepan. Add onion, curry powder and cinnamon; sauté until tender. Add soup base and water; bring to a boil. Stir in rice; cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer until liquid is absorbed; about 20 minutes. About 5 minutes before rice is done, stir in reserved stuffing.

Place rice on serving platter; top with chicken breasts. Spoon or pour yogurt sauce over chicken; sprinkle with paprika to add color.
