Easy Baked Chicken Recipe with Apple Stuffing

Ingredients

• 2 cups milk
• 3 eggs eggs
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 cup dry bread crumbs
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 Red Delicious apple, cored and diced
• 1 (8 ounce) package dry bread stuffing mix
• 2 cups apple juice, or as needed
• 2 tablespoons butter, or as needed
• 1 Red Delicious apple - peeled, cored and diced

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for baking.
2. Pour the milk into a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and water together. Place the bread crumbs in another shallow dish or on a plate. Dip each chicken breast half into the milk, then into the egg mixture, and finally press into the bread crumbs to fully coat. Place the breaded chicken on a clean plate and set aside.
3. Prepare the stuffing mix as instructed on the package, but replace the water with apple juice. While bringing the juice and butter to a boil, add the diced apple (with peel) to the pan. Stir in the stuffing mix until all liquid is absorbed. Transfer the stuffing to a baking dish and top with the remaining apple pieces. Arrange the breaded chicken breasts on top of the apple stuffing, and cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
4. Bake until the chicken is fully cooked and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork, approximately 45 to 50 minutes. A meat thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
