APPLE AND CHEDDAR STUFFED CHICKEN

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 45m

¼ teaspoon dried thyme, divided, or more to taste

Provided by Feast Your Eyes

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, trimmed fat
1 large apple, peeled, cored and diced (Fuji, Empire, or Braeburn)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
3 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
4 ounces brie cheese, rind removed and divided into 4 even slices
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 egg
olive oil
1 cup apple cider or 1 cup apple juice
1/4 cup chicken broth
4 fresh thyme sprigs
2 yellow onions, cut in half lengthwise and sliced thin
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 apple, peeled, cored and sliced thin (Fuji, Empire, or Braeburn)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup white wine
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 dash ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Wash the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board. Lightly press each chicken breast flat with one hand; use a sharp knife to cut a slit horizontally along one edge of the breast, cutting nearly to the opposite side but not all the way through. Open it so it forms two flaps, attached at the center, like a butterfly. Set aside - keep refrigerated.
  • To a small mixing bowl, add the diced apple, lemon juice, lemon zest, sage, 3 tablespoons of bread crumbs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Stuff each breast with about a quarter of the apple mixture and 1 slice of Brie; close the flap, press it down firmly, and set the chicken aside.
  • Transfer the stuffed chicken breasts to a baking sheet. (There is no need to seal them around the edges.) Sprinkle the breasts with salt and pepper.
  • Combine the remaining bread crumbs, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste in a shallow dish. Lightly beat the egg with a fork in another dish.
  • One at a time, hold the chicken breast together and dip in the beaten egg - coat on both sides. Dredge in the bread crumb mixture, turning it over to coat well. Repeat until done.
  • Next, drizzle 2 teaspoons of olive oil into a large heavy-bottom skillet; set over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts; brown on each side (about 2 - 3 minutes per side).
  • Transfer the chicken breasts to a large casserole dish; add 1/2 cup of the apple cider/juice, the chicken broth, and the thyme sprigs. Place in the oven and bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until no longer pink inside.
  • While the chicken is baking, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for about 15 - 20 minutes, stirring often. Cook until they turn deep golden brown. To the onions add the garlic, sliced apples, cinnamon and wine and cook for about 5 more minutes, or until the liquid evaporates. Cover and keep warm.
  • Transfeer the chicken to a warmed serving platter; cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Whisk together the remaining apple cider/juice, the mustard, and the cinnamon; bring to a boil in a small sauce pan on high heat for 3 minutes until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened.
  • Spoon the carmelized onions and cinnamon apples, followed by the sauce over the chicken. Serve immediately.

  • Heat the remaing 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a heavy oven-proof skillet until it begins to smoke. Cook each side of the chicken until golden brown.
  • Add the vinegar and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and gently simmer the chicken for 2 or 3 minutes per side until cooked through.

ERIKA'S APPLE-STUFFED BAKED CHICKEN



ERIKA'S APPLE-STUFFED BAKED CHICKEN image

Categories     Chicken     Bake

Yield 2 People

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 chicken breasts
1 medium size apple
1/2 of a medium size yellow onion
2 cloves fresh garlic (finely chopped)
1 slice of stale or baked multigrain bread diced (any type of bread will do)
1/4 cup of Italian Seasoning Breadcrumbs
A handful of sage and time finely chopped (preferably fresh)
1/4 cup of chicken broth (or water)
1/2 cup grated Manchego (or any other sharp cheese)
Pinch of salt and pepper to taste
Tablespoon of Olive Oil and butter
1/4 cup of white wine
1 baking sheet
Pinch of garlic and onion powder
A handful of toothpicks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Heat up oil and butter in a pan on medium heat. Finely chop the garlic, onion, and apple and add to the pan. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and sautee ingredients until they cook down enough for the moisture to come out. Finely chop the fresh sage and parsley and add. Chop up the slice of bread into small cubes and add to the mixture along with the breadcrumbs. Add the chicken broth to bind the ingredients. Then add the freshly grated cheese. Lastly, add the wine and allow for this to simmer for at least a minute. The end result will be a wet mixture - you should be able to bind it with your hand. Put this mixture into a bowl and set aside. Slice the chicken breast in half like a hot dog bun, making sure not to cut all the way through to other side. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder. Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, stuff it into the chicken breast and seal it with the toothpicks. Dust the chicken with a little flour and breadcrumbs and sear both sides until browned. Remove from heat and place the chicken onto an oiled baking sheet and bake it for about 10 minutes on each side or until browned. Keep the heat on the pan and add a splash of white wine and chicken broth to deglaze. This will create the gravy to go on top of the chicken. After the chicken has cooked for ten minutes, remove from the sheet and place it on a large piece of tinfoil on top of the baking sheet and seal the foil to contain more heat. Bake for another fifteen minutes or until the stuffing is steaming hot. Remove from heat and serve on a plate along with any vegetable or side-dish. Pour the gravy over the chicken and enjoy.

AMAZING CINNAMON APPLE RICE STUFFED CHICKEN GFCF



Amazing Cinnamon Apple Rice Stuffed Chicken Gfcf image

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!

Categories     Chicken     Bake

Yield 1 3-4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 Red apple (any type) chopped
1 Granny Smith chopped
1 ½ tsp basil
1 small onion chopped
1 1 inch piece of ginger grated or chopped
1 whole chicken fryer or roaster
2 Bay Leaves

Steps:

  • Chop apples with skin left on. Mix everything together and stuff the chicken. Place in roasting pan. Slip 2 bay leaves under the skin on top. Brush with some butter or oil and season the top. Place in oven at 350 for about 1/2 to 40 min or until juices run clear and meat thermometer reads 190. When cooked unstuff and thow away the stuffing let chicken sit for 5 min before carving. Serve with cooked vegetables

Tips:

  • Selecting the Right Chicken: Choose a whole chicken that is free-range, organic, or raised without antibiotics or hormones to ensure the best quality and flavor.
  • Preparing the Apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to maintain their shape during baking. Peel and core the apples, then cut them into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
  • Stuffing the Chicken: Loosen the skin of the chicken gently to create a pocket between the meat and the skin. Carefully insert the apple stuffing into the pocket, distributing it evenly throughout the chicken cavity.
  • Seasoning and Basting: Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper, both inside and out. Brush the chicken with melted butter or olive oil before roasting to promote browning and crisping of the skin.
  • Roasting the Chicken: Preheat the oven to a high temperature (400-425°F) to achieve a golden brown, crispy skin. Roast the chicken uncovered for the first 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F and continue roasting until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, as measured by a meat thermometer.
  • Resting the Chicken: Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
