Tips
To toast the almonds, spread them in a single layer in a shallow baking pan. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 5 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown, watching carefully and stirring once or twice so the almonds don't burn.
Prepare the chicken bundles and place them in a baking dish. Cover and chill chicken for 1 to 4 hours. Uncover chicken and brush bundles with mixture of melted butter and paprika. Bake chicken as directed.
You can use this recipe to stuff a 2-1/2 to 3-pound broiler-fryer chicken. Triple the recipe for a small turkey. Or transfer the stuffing mixture to a 2-quart casserole and bake, covered, in a 325 degree F oven for 45 minutes. Serve stuffing in casserole with roasted chicken or turkey.
To reduce the sodium, omit the salt and use reduced-sodium, chicken broth.
