Ingredients:
1

2
(8 ounce) packages dried, sweetened cranberries
2
tablespoons olive oil
6
lettuce leaves
1/2
cup pecan halves
Making
It:
Preheat
the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare stuffing mix according to
package directions. Set aside to cool. With a sharp knife, butterfly breasts
open to lay flat. Place each breast between two sheets of waxed paper, and
flatten with a mallet. Spread the prepared stuffing to within 1/4 inch of the
edge of each breast. Sprinkle each one with chopped pecans and dried
cranberries, reserving some of the cranberries for garnish. Roll up tightly in
a jellyroll style, starting with the long end. Tuck in ends, and tie in
sections with string, about 4 sections around the middle and one running the
length of the roll to secure the ends.
Heat
olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully brown
rolls on all sides. Place skillet in oven, uncovered. Bake in a preheated 350
degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature is
at 170 degrees F (78 degrees C) when taken with a meat thermometer. Do not let
these get overly dry. Allow rolls to set for 15 minutes before removing string,
and slicing into 1/2 to 3/4 inch circles. Leave one roll whole, and slice the
other for presentation. Stuffing will be spiraled into meat. Present on your
prettiest platter on a bed of curly lettuce, and garnish by sprinkling with the
remaining 1/2 cup pecan halves and the reserved dried cranberries.
