AMAZING CINNAMON APPLE RICE STUFFED CHICKEN GFCF
This is a different take on a traditional Persian dish that I love. My sister, Naomi and I came up with the recipe together. We were trying to use ingredients that would not only taste great for kids and adults alike but also follow a gluten free casein free diet for her son with Autism. When she served this for dinner to her husband, who is very picky, he exclaimed, "Wow,Amazing! You have to make this for Christmas dinner. The entire chicken disappeared very quickly and he was disappointed that she had not made two!

Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cooked rice. Simply follow the package instructions to cook the rice before stuffing the chicken breasts.
- If you don't have any apple cider vinegar, you can substitute white vinegar or lemon juice. Just use the same amount.
- For a sweeter stuffing, add a tablespoon or two of brown sugar or honey to the rice mixture.
- If you're using a large skillet to cook the chicken, you may need to add a little more oil or butter to prevent the chicken from sticking.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, then remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
