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 found this on the Sargento.com website and this was so good. Whenever my husband tells me that it's really good and I can make it again I figure it's worth posting. I hope you will try this and enjoy it as well.

Steps:
- 1. Combine 2 tablespoons of the chutney, apple and cayenne pepper in a small bowl; mix well. Stir in 3/4 cup of the cheese.
- 2. Cut a pocket in side of each chicken breast, taking care not to cut through top or bottom of chicken.* Stuff cheese mixture into chicken, pressing edges together to enclose stuffing. Place chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush remaining 1/4 cup chutney over tops of chicken breasts. Combine breadcrumbs and remaining 1/2 cup cheese; sprinkle over chicken. Sprinkle paprika lightly over chicken if desired.
- 3. Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Tips:
- Choose flavorful apples. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Jonagold apples are all good choices for this recipe, as they hold their shape well and have a tart flavor that pairs well with the cheddar cheese.
- Use a sharp cheddar cheese. A sharp cheddar cheese will give the dish a more pronounced flavor. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can use a medium cheddar cheese.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When searing the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can brown evenly.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken immediately. This dish is best served hot, so make sure to serve it as soon as it is cooked.
Conclusion:
This apple cheddar chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the apples and cheddar cheese add a flavorful twist. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
