CARAMELIZED APPLE STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST WITH FONTINA AND BING CHERRIES
Steps:
- For the marinade: Place the red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, the mustards, and honey in a food processor. Turn it on and drizzle in the olive oil until fully incorporated (emulsified). Marinate the chicken breasts overnight in this mixture.
- Preheat grill or grill pan on high. Remove chicken breasts from the marinade and transfer to a plate. Season them with salt and pepper. Mark the chicken breasts by grilling them only long enough to make grill marks and then rotating them about 45 degrees to make crosshatch marks. Do this on 1 side only. The chicken breasts should still be completely raw inside. Hold breasts in refrigerator until ready to stuff.
- For the stuffing: Peel, core, and very roughly chop the apples. Melt the butter in a saute pan over medium/high heat and add the apples. Cook the apples for roughly 5 to 10 minutes or until they are deeply browned. Remove from heat and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the fontina and cherries and mix. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- For the chicken: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Cut a slit in the side of each breast (in the thicker part) about 1-inch wide, creating a pocket almost as large as the breast itself. Stuff the breasts with the apple stuffing mix ¿ cramming in as much as possible without ripping the breast. At this point the breasts are ready to bake and can either be held in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours or baked right away. When ready to bake, place on a baking sheet and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 155 degrees F in the thickest part of the breast.

Pineapple stuffing is the highlight of this delicious recipe. I think it would go well with pork as well as with chicken.

Steps:
- Drain pineapple but reserve the juice. Set aside.
- Place the chicken inside a zip lock bag and pound to a flatness of about 1/4". You can use a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Saute the green onions and bell pepper for 5 minutes or until tender.
- Add the hot water and seasoning mix from the stuffing package, then stir in the stuffing and finally the pineapple.
- Place chicken breasts shiny side down and spoon about 1/2 cup stuffing onto one side of the breast. Roll up the breasts and if necessary secure with a toothpick.
- Place rolled chicken in a lightly greased baking dish in one layer.
- Stir together the reserved pineapple juice, brown sugar, vinegar and ginger and drizzle over the chicken.
- Dot with butter and bake at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until done.
Tips:
- To ensure the chicken breasts are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before removing from the oven.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by cutting into the thickest part of the breast. The juices should run clear, with no pink or red color.
- If you want to add more flavor to the chicken, you can marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs before cooking.
- Feel free to experiment with different fillings for the chicken breasts. Some other popular options include spinach and feta, broccoli and cheddar, or mushrooms and Swiss cheese.
- If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked chicken breasts to make this recipe. Just be sure to heat them through before serving.

If you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make chicken dish, this Hawaiian stuffed chicken breasts recipe is a perfect choice. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the filling is a delicious combination of sweet and savory flavors. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
