CHICKEN WITH APPLES AND STUFFING



Chicken With Apples and Stuffing image

Originally a recipe from Taste of Home's "Five Ingredient Cookbook," but I have done much tweaking to get it just right. This one is so yummy and filling, and the flavors blend surprisingly nicely. If you can find apple pie filling with cinnamon already added, you can just use that. Usually I can't find it at my store. Also I frequently cannot find 6 oz. packages of stuffing mix, so I just make about 2 cups of stuffing, or a whole box, and put the extra on the side. This recipe was originally for pork, so you can also substitute 6 boneless pork loin chops for the chicken. We are more chicken fans at my house! You can also leave the chicken breasts whole if you prefer. I just find it blends nicely with them chopped.

Categories     Pork

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped in bite-size pieces
1 teaspoon kosher salt, to taste
1 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, to taste
1 -2 tablespoon honey, to taste
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 (6 ounce) package seasoned stuffing mix, flavor of choice
1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Chop chicken, season with salt, pepper and 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, rubbing dry spices in thoroughly.
  • In a skillet, brown chicken in oil over medium-high heat, adding honey as soon as the chicken hits the pan and starts sizzling! Toss to coat chicken. Remove as soon as chicken is cooked on all sides.
  • Meanwhile, prepare stuffing according to package directions.
  • Spread pie filling in a greased 8-in. x 8-in. square baking dish. Stir in 1 teaspoons cinnamon if not already included in pie filling. *Note: At this juncture, you may want to remove apples from their sauce and dice them up, then return. I find that though the apple flavor blends nicely, the whole apple slices frequently overpower the other components of the dish.
  • Add chicken over the top of the pie filling, and then add the stuffing on top.
  • Cover and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover; bake 5-8 minutes longer or just until top of stuffing browns just a bit and pie filling starts to bubble.

SKILLET STUFFING WITH APPLES, SHALLOTS, AND CRANBERRIES



Skillet Stuffing with Apples, Shallots, and Cranberries image

Provided by Leah Koenig

Categories     Thanksgiving     Cranberry     Apple     Thyme     Shallot

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large shallots, roughly chopped
1 medium onion, roughly chopped
2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
2 medium green apples, roughly chopped (do not peel)
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 medium loaf rustic country bread, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 10 cups)
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth, plus more if necessary
1/2 cup apple cider
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup dried cranberries
2 eggs, lightly beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the shallot, onion, celery, apple, and garlic, scraping down sides of the bowl, until finely chopped.
  • In a 12-inch cast iron or other oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, heat butter. Add the chopped vegetable mixture, season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, add the bread cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat and stir in the broth, cider, rosemary, thyme, and cranberries. Once the liquid is completely absorbed, stir in the eggs, transfer the pan to the oven and bake until browned on top and cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • For a crispier chicken skin, pat the chicken dry before searing.
  • If you don't have a skillet that is oven-safe, you can transfer the chicken and stuffing to a baking dish before baking.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of herbs and spices in the stuffing to your liking.
  • For a vegetarian version of this dish, omit the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

Conclusion:

Skillet Chicken and Apple Stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make one-pan meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken is cooked to perfection and the stuffing is flavorful and moist. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
