Roasted Chicken With Wild Rice Stuffing image

My daughter found this recipe on another food network and used it to stuff a baked chicken. We all loved it and since then I have fixed it to good reviews from all the family except the grandsons (was probably a little to different for them) The taste is rich and the texture moist, My daughter changed it some as it was intended for a goose, rather than chicken and called for roasted chestnuts, but we prefer mushrooms. Great for that special dinner for friends or family.
