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.
