Pollo Ripieno, or Stuffed Chicken: A Couple of Recipes
Thursday November 12, 2009
Those of us who are American are nearing Thanksgiving, and it is time to start thinking about roasting up a stuffed bird. Not that one need wait until The Day, however. Here are a couple of fairly easy recipes, one for roast chicken with a rice and pistachio stuffing. The other, with a bread-and-walnut stuffing, is boiled, and offers a nice change of pace from roasted birds.

You cannot be Italian. You wrote in one of the ingredients used for greens Collards could be used. There are many greens Italians use collards is the least of them. Why would you suggest collards? Why not something like Swiss Chard instead to be used as a stuffing. We use it in our baked polenta dishes and many other places. Alot more than we use collards.
Lucia, This is embarrassing, and I hang my head in shame: A long time ago I looked up bietoline is an Italian English dictionary – the one I had at the time – and it suggested collard greens. So that’s what I used, and went on with work, using Italian sources as always. At some point I realized Bietole are chard (though you can find beet greens in Italian markets too, and they’re also called bietole), but I completely forgot to go back through the older recipes and correct the mistake. Until you brought it to my attention. Now I have.
Other thing: You’re right, I’m not Italian. Married to one, though, have lived here for more than 30 years, and both kids are half Italian
