Stuffed Chicken

I got the bones for this recipe on AllRecipies.com. However, as usual, I had only about 1/2 the ingredients. So, below is my take on this yummy dish. It is pretty simple to make, but has a lot of gourmet flavor.

Stuffed Chicken

Stuffing:
1 gala apple, finely diced
1/4 C shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/2 C sliced almonds

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 T olive oil
2T butter
White wine to taste
Onion powder- a few dashes

tooth picks

Combine the stuffing in a small bowl. The measurements are approximate, so add more or less as you see fit.

Place two boneless, skinless chicken breasts in between 2 pieces of wax paper and pound until thin. Place the stuffing mixture on top of the flattened chicken breasts and roll the chicken up. Secure with toothpicks.

In a skillet, add about 2 T of olive oil and 2T of butter. Brown the chicken for a few minutes on each side. Once browned, remove the chicken to a baking dish. Add some white wine and onion powder to the chicken pan and swoosh the pan around to combine. Pour over the chicken breasts in the baking dish.

Bake at 350 for about 25 minutes.

At about the halfway mark, I added more wine to the baking dish, because it looked like the sauce was sticking to the pan. And why would I use water if the wine is already opened?

Enjoy!
