Apple and Cheddar Stuffed Chicken image

This is a recipe I created with bits and pieces from other recipes. Great for the fall when you have extra apples and don't want to make sweets.

Time 45m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 6

cooking spray
¼ teaspoon dried thyme, divided, or more to taste
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3 small apples - peeled, cored and chopped
2 ¼ ounces white Cheddar cheese (such as Babybel®), chopped
1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and sprinkle with 1 pinch thyme.
  • Place chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4-inch.
  • Spread apples and Cheddar cheese evenly over each chicken breast. Starting at one end, roll each breast around filling and secure the roll with a toothpick through the center. Transfer breasts to prepared baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over each breast and sprinkle with remaining thyme.
  • Cook chicken breasts in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

I'm allergic to apples, so I substituted pears in the stuffing. It turned out great!

I used a rotisserie chicken to save time, and it worked out great. The chicken was still juicy and flavorful.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my stuffing turned out mushy. I think I might have used too much butter.

I added some chopped walnuts to the stuffing and it gave it a nice crunch.

I used a different type of cheese than the recipe called for and it turned out great. I think you could experiment with different cheeses to find your favorite combination.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out dry. I think I might have overcooked it.
