Ingredients
    6 whole chicken breasts, boned
    seasoned salt
    pepper
    1 (6 oz.) pkg. long grain and wild rice
    1/4 c. grated orange peel
    2 eggs, separated
    3 (8 oz.) cans refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
    2 (10 oz.) jars red currant jelly
    1 Tbsp. prepared mustard
    3 Tbsp. Port wine
    1/4 c. lemon juice
    spiced whole crab apples (for garnish)
    watercress (for garnish)
Preparation
    About 2 1/2 to 3 hours before serving, remove skin from chicken.
    Sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt and dash of seasoned pepper.
    Refrigerate.
    Cook rice as label directs for drier rice, but add orange peel.
    Cool.
    Beat 2 egg whites until soft peaks form.
    Fold into rice mixture.
    Unwrap 1 can dinner rolls.
    On floured surface, lightly knead half of dough into a ball; roll into 10-inch circle.
    Repeat process, making 6 circles. Preheat oven to 375\u00b0.
    Remove chicken breasts from refrigerator. Place each, flesh side down, in center of each dough circle. Spoon about 1/2 cup prepared rice mixture onto each breast half and fold.
    Bring dough up over stuffed breast; moisten edges with water and press to seal edges together.
    Place seam side down on large cookie sheet.
    Slightly beat egg yolks with 1 tablespoon water; brush over dough.
    Bake, uncovered, 45 to 50 minutes or until a cake tester can be inserted easily in breast.
    If dough browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
