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.

APPLE & CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Apple & Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 chicken breasts, boneless
1 apple, peeled and chopped
1 large shallot, chopped fine
2 tablespoons fresh French tarragon, parsley, or sage
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup fine bread crumbs
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup monterey jack cheese, grated
1/4 cup apple cider
2 tablespoons boiled cider
2 to 3 tablespoons white wine
3/4 cup chicken stock
Salt & pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Pat chicken dry. Cut a pocket in each chicken breast (or butterfly each chicken breast). Combine the apples, shallots, tarragon, garlic powder, cheese and breadcrumbs. Stuff the chicken generously; likewise, if you've butterflied the chicken breasts, layer with stuffing and roll up. Using kitchen twine, tie each chicken breast and season with salt & pepper. Heat an oven-proof skillet with a thin layer of olive oil and sear on medium-high, until golden brown. Turn over and place the entire skillet in a preheated 425°F oven. Roast, until the chicken comes to 160°F, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, and set the chicken on a plate; cut and remove the kitchen twine. Loosely cover with foil. Drain any excess fat/oil from the skillet. With skillet on medium-high, deglaze the pan with the apple cider, scraping off any loose bites. Add the white wine and stir for a minute or two. Add the chicken stock and reduce to about half. Serve each chicken breast with plenty of pan sauce.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to make a pocket in the chicken breast. This will help the stuffing stay in place during cooking.
  • Don't overstuff the chicken breast. Too much stuffing will make the chicken difficult to cook evenly.
  • Use a variety of fillings. Apples, cranberries, and walnuts are all great options, but you can also use other fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
  • Season the chicken breast and stuffing to taste. This will help enhance the flavor of the dish.
  • Cook the chicken breast until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken breast rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken.

Conclusion:

Chicken breast stuffed with apple is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a meal that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook chicken breast, give this recipe a try.
