Time 55m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 slices provolone cheese, halved
1 Granny Smith apple - peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1 shallot, sliced
2 tablespoons milk
½ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
3 egg yolks
⅓ cup white sugar
¼ cup white wine
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup finely chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly oil a baking pan.
  • Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a large pocket in each chicken breast. (Hint: Cutting close to the smooth side of the breast ensures no holes in the chicken.) Place 1 half-slice of provolone inside each chicken, followed by half of the apple slices, and a small amount of shallot or onion, to suit your tastes. Top with the remaining half slice of provolone. Pull the chicken back together, sprinkle with a small amount of milk, and coat with breadcrumbs. Place stuffed breasts on baking pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until no longer pink, and juices run clear.
  • While the chicken bakes, you may start your sauce. In a double boiler over lightly simmering water, combine the egg yolks and sugar. Beat until the yolk lightens and froth forms. Slowly add the wine, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the pecans and vanilla. The sauce looks nice served under the chicken with a small amount drizzled over it.

PECAN-STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST

Provided by Daphne Brogdon

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus for drizzling
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 7 ounces each), butterflied
1 tablespoon molasses, mixed with 2 teaspoons hot water
1 teaspoon ground fennel
Salt and fresh ground pepper
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 cup pecans, toasted, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
3 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
1 cup white wine
1 cup chicken broth
Half 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper

Steps:

  • Lay out a 15-inch-long piece of plastic wrap on a cutting board and drizzle it with a little olive oil. Lay a butterflied chicken breast, cut side up, on the plastic wrap. Fold the plastic wrap over to cover. Using a meat pounder, pound out the thicker parts of the breast so that it's uniformly thick. Fold the plastic wrap open and brush the chicken breast with the molasses; season with generous pinches of fennel, salt and pepper. (This will be the inside part of the breast that gets stuffed.) Fold the plastic wrap back over and flip the breast over. Fold plastic wrap open and season the other side of the breast with salt and pepper. (This is the outside that will later get seared in the pan.) Re-cover with the plastic wrap and place on a plate. Repeat this process with the remaining chicken breasts. Refrigerate for 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, season with salt and pepper, and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and pecans, and cook another 2 minutes. Add the tarragon and cook another minute. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • Remove a butterflied breast from the plastic wrap. Place it on a cutting board, molasses-side up. Place 1/4 cup of the filling on half of the chicken breast. Fold over the other half to enclose the filling. Using a bamboo skewer, close up the opening by threading the skewer through one end of the opening to the other to secure. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts and filling.
  • Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and cook for about 3 minutes per side, until nicely browned. Add the wine, chicken broth and crushed tomatoes. Turn down the heat to low, cover, and poach until the chicken is cooked through, another 8 minutes.
  • Transfer the chicken to a plate, remove the skewers, cover the chicken with foil and let rest for 5 minutes. While chicken is resting, turn up the heat on the poaching liquid to medium, add the crushed red pepper, and let simmer until thickened and reduced by a third, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Strain the sauce into a small pot and keep warm over low heat until ready to serve.
  • To serve: Slice the chicken, if desired, and arrange on a serving platter. Pour some sauce over the top. Serve immediately, with extra sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs work best. The bones and skin add flavor and help keep the chicken moist during cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give each piece enough space in the pan so that it can brown evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the chicken from sticking.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature using a meat thermometer.
  • Make sure the sauce is thickened before serving: To thicken the sauce, whisk in a cornstarch slurry (made with cornstarch and water) or melt some butter and whisk it into the sauce.

Conclusion:

Apple-filled chicken in pecan creme sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, the apples are sweet and tart, and the sauce is rich and creamy. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or roasted vegetables.
