Do not wait for the holidays to prepare a special dish for your family. Make every day an instant celebration with this stuffed roast chicken recipe.

The brown rice used as stuffing for this recipe is an amazing option for health-conscious individuals. Brown rice is packed with nutrients that common white rice lack. As the fresh whole chicken is roasted to perfection, the rice absorbs its juice as it cooks, leaving a savoury rice stuffing to the roasted chicken. Get the recipe here.
