Directions

1

For stuffing, in a 1 1/2-quart casserole cook mushrooms, carrots, green onions, and 2 tablespoon water, covered, on 100% power ( high) 3 to 4 minutes or till crisp-tender. Add bread cubes and water chesnuts. Combine soy sauce, sherry, oil, garlic powder, and ginger. Toss stuffing with 1 tablespoon soy mixture and enough broth to moisten. Set aside. Rinse chicken; pat dry. Pull neck skin to back of bird; twist wing tips under the chicken. Tie legs to tail. Place chicken, breast side down, in a dish. Brush with some of the remaining soy mixture. Place in microwave oven, allowing 2 to 3 inches between the chicken and the oven walls and ceiling. Cover loosely with waxed paper. Cook on high 10 minutes. Turn chicken breast side up . Brush with remaining soy mixture. To prevent overcooking, shield drumsticks and wing tips with small foil pieces. Cook, covered, on high to 8 to 10 minutes or till no longer pink. Let stand 10 minutes. Meanwhile, cook stuffing, covered, on high for 3 minutes or till heated through. Serve with chicken.
