Apple Stuffed Chicken Breast
Description
This recipe stuffs chicken breasts with chopped apples, Cheddar cheese, and bread crumbs, and cooks them in butter and white wine for a fantastic dish.
Ingredients
•
1/2 cup chopped apple
•
2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese
•
1 tablespoon Italian-style dried bread crumbs
•
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
•
1 tablespoon butter
•
1/4 cup dry white wine
•
1/4 cup water
•
1 tablespoon water
•
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
•
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions
1
Combine apple, Cheddar cheese, and bread crumbs in a bowl. Set aside.
2
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of waxed paper on a solid, level surface; pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to ¼-inch thickness. Divide apple mixture between chicken breasts, spread, and roll up each breast. Secure with toothpicks.
3
Melt butter in a 7-inch skillet over medium heat. Add stuffed breasts; cook until browned all over. Add wine and ¼ cup water; cover and simmer until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clean, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest parts of breasts should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer breasts to a serving platter, leaving juices in the skillet.
4
Stir 1 tablespoon water and cornstarch together in a small bowl until smooth; stir into juices in the skillet. Cook and stir until sauce is thickened.
5
Pour sauce over chicken; garnish with parsley.
