Chicken Breasts Stuffed With Apples & Cheddar image

I have been meaning to give this elegant sounding chicken dish for years and have decided to share it here even though I haven't tried it yet. I originally clipped this from a magazine years ago and thought it would be a lovely choice for a romantic dinner.

Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (pounded to a 1/4-inch thickness with a mallet)
1/2 cup cooking apple (Golden Delicious or Granny Smith recommended)
2 tablespoons sharp cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon fine dry breadcrumb
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup dry white wine or 1/4 cup apple cider
water, as needed
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
fresh parsley, chopped, garnish
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • If you haven't already pounded your chicken breast halves, do so now- they should be 1/4" thin; season with salt and pepper to taste on both sides. Peel your apples unless you prefer them to have the skin on.
  • Combine apple chunks,cheese, and bread crumbs in a small bowl.
  • Divide the apple mixture into two portions and place one portion on top of each piece of chicken.
  • Roll up chicken into a bundle, using toothpicks to secure if needed.
  • Melt butter in a skillet, then brown the chicken briefly on both sides in the butter- just a few minutes each side to brown but not cook all the way through yet.
  • Once browned, add wine and 1/4 cup of water.
  • Cover pan and let simmer 15-20 minutes on medium-low heat- until chicken is no longer pink and completely cooked through.
  • Remove cooked chicken from the pan using a slotted spoon and set on two plates.
  • Remove toothpicks.
  • Whisk together 1 Tbsp of water and the cornstarch well and add to the pan juices.
  • Whisk until blended and cook and stir until thickened slightly (you may need to raise the heat a bit); test for seasoning and add more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Ladle over chicken and sprinkle parsley over tops as a garnish.

Tips:

  • For optimal flavor, select firm, crisp apples that hold their shape well during cooking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the apples to ensure even cooking.
  • Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
  • Stuff the chicken breasts with a generous amount of cheddar cheese and apples to create a flavorful and juicy filling.
  • To prevent the cheese from leaking out during baking, use toothpicks to secure the openings of the chicken breasts.
  • Bake the chicken breasts until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are cooked thoroughly.
  • Garnish the cooked chicken breasts with fresh parsley or chives for a vibrant pop of color and added flavor.
