Another recipe using shallots in the sauce. This looks and sounds absolutely sinful! I can't wait to try it, and I hope you will too. However, after reading some reviews, I have tweaked it a bit to cut down on sweetness. Recipe: Allrecipes.com Photo: Joey Joan

Categories     Chicken

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
2 slice provolone or gorgonzola cheese, halved
1 granny smith apple, cored, peeled and thinly sliced
1 shallot, sliced
2 Tbsp milk
1/2 c italian seasoned bread crumbs
3 egg yolks
2 Tbsp white sugar
1/4 c white wine - or - apple juice
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 c finely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a large pocket in each chicken breast. Place 1/2 slice cheese inside each chicken piece, follwed by half of the apple slices, and a small amount of shallot. Top with the remaining 1/2 slice of cheese.
  • 2. Pull the chicken back together, sprinkle with a small amount of milk and coat with breadcrumbs. Place the stuffed breasts on a lightly oiled baking pan.
  • 3. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until juices run clear.
  • 4. While the chicken bakes, you can make the sauce. In a double boiler over lightly simmering water, combine the egg yolks and sugar. Beat until the yolk lightens and froth forms. Slowly add the wine (or apple juice), stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the pecans and vanilla.
  • 5. The sauce can be served under the chicken with a small amount drizzed over it.

Tips:

  • For a crispy skin, pat the chicken dry before searing.
  • Sear the chicken over medium-high heat until golden brown. This will help to seal in the juices.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when searing the chicken. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will not brown evenly.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Allow the chicken to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken.
  • For a richer sauce, use heavy cream instead of milk.
  • Add a splash of white wine or chicken broth to the sauce for extra flavor.
  • Garnish the chicken with fresh parsley or chives before serving.

Conclusion:

Apple-filled chicken in pecan cream sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The chicken is moist and flavorful, and the sauce is creamy and rich. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
