Easy Apple Stuffed Chicken Breast Recipe

Ingredients

• 0.5 cup chopped apple
• 2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon Italian-style dried bread crumbs
• 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.25 cup dry white wine
• 0.25 cup water
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1.5 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped apple, sharp Cheddar cheese, and crispy bread crumbs. Set the mixture aside temporarily.
2. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts between two sheets of wax paper on a flat surface. Use the smooth side of a meat mallet to pound the chicken to ¼-inch thickness. Evenly divide the apple mixture between each chicken breast, spread it out, and carefully roll up each breast. Secure the rolls with toothpicks.
3. In a 7-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and cook until they are nicely browned on all sides. Pour in the white wine and ¼ cup of water. Cover the skillet and let it simmer until the chicken is fully cooked, and the juices run clear – this should take approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Use an instant-read thermometer to check that the internal temperature inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer the chicken breasts to a serving dish, leaving the flavorful juices in the skillet.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of water and cornstarch until the mixture is smooth. Gently stir this mixture into the juices remaining in the skillet. Cook and stir continuously until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
5. Pour the luscious sauce over the cooked chicken breasts and garnish with fresh parsley for a vibrant and flavorful finish.
