Time 1h5m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
⅓ cup dried cherries, chopped
¼ cup plain bread crumbs
1 egg yolk
1 ½ tablespoons finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh thyme
1 teaspoon fresh oregano, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
4 thin slices prosciutto
¾ cup chicken broth
1 ½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon butter
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Brush the inside of an oven-proof skillet with vegetable oil. Set aside.
  • Mix cherries, bread crumbs, egg yolk, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, olive oil, thyme, oregano, garlic, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until combined.
  • Cut a 1-inch slit in each chicken breast by slicing at an angle from the thick end of the breast toward the thinner end.
  • Open flap and place one butterflied chicken breast 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 1/2-inch. Repeat with the other breast.
  • Place half the stuffing on each chicken breast, place each breast on a piece of plastic wrap and roll into a tight roll, twisting the ends of the plastic wrap to hold create a tight package.
  • On a piece of plastic wrap, slightly overlap 2 slices of prosciutto so they are as wide as the rolled chicken breast. Unwrap rolled chicken breast and place the breast at one end of the prosciutto. Roll prosciutto around the stuffed breast using the plastic to make a tight roll. Repeat with the second stuffed breast and remaining 2 slices of prosciutto.
  • Lay 4 pieces of string on the cutting board, about 1-inch apart. Place chicken roll across the strings, and tie each into a knot to keep the chicken from unrolling. Repeat for the second stuffed breast.
  • Place stuffed, rolled chicken breasts in the prepared skillet and bake in the preheated oven until the prosciutto is browned and crispy and chicken is no longer pink, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken to a plate and loosely cover with aluminum foil.
  • Drain grease from the pan as desired, leaving juice and browned bits. Pour in chicken stock and balsamic vinegar, and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook, while scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until liquid has reduced by half, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat, add butter and stir until melted. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Remove twine from chicken breasts; slice into bite-sized pieces. Serve drizzled with pan sauce.

CHICKEN BREASTS STUFFED WITH APPLES & CHEDDAR



Chicken Breasts Stuffed With Apples & Cheddar image

I have been meaning to give this elegant sounding chicken dish for years and have decided to share it here even though I haven't tried it yet. I originally clipped this from a magazine years ago and thought it would be a lovely choice for a romantic dinner.

Provided by HeatherFeather

Categories     Chicken

Time 45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (pounded to a 1/4-inch thickness with a mallet)
1/2 cup cooking apple (Golden Delicious or Granny Smith recommended)
2 tablespoons sharp cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon fine dry breadcrumb
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup dry white wine or 1/4 cup apple cider
water, as needed
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
fresh parsley, chopped, garnish
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • If you haven't already pounded your chicken breast halves, do so now- they should be 1/4" thin; season with salt and pepper to taste on both sides. Peel your apples unless you prefer them to have the skin on.
  • Combine apple chunks,cheese, and bread crumbs in a small bowl.
  • Divide the apple mixture into two portions and place one portion on top of each piece of chicken.
  • Roll up chicken into a bundle, using toothpicks to secure if needed.
  • Melt butter in a skillet, then brown the chicken briefly on both sides in the butter- just a few minutes each side to brown but not cook all the way through yet.
  • Once browned, add wine and 1/4 cup of water.
  • Cover pan and let simmer 15-20 minutes on medium-low heat- until chicken is no longer pink and completely cooked through.
  • Remove cooked chicken from the pan using a slotted spoon and set on two plates.
  • Remove toothpicks.
  • Whisk together 1 Tbsp of water and the cornstarch well and add to the pan juices.
  • Whisk until blended and cook and stir until thickened slightly (you may need to raise the heat a bit); test for seasoning and add more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Ladle over chicken and sprinkle parsley over tops as a garnish.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken breasts: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly. If you want to use chicken breasts with the bone in, be sure to remove the skin and bones before stuffing them.
  • Brine the chicken breasts: Brining the chicken breasts in a mixture of water, salt, and sugar will help them stay moist and juicy during cooking. You can brine the chicken breasts for up to 24 hours, but even a few hours will make a difference.
  • Use high-quality prosciutto: The prosciutto is one of the key ingredients in this dish, so be sure to use a good quality prosciutto that is thinly sliced. You can find prosciutto at most grocery stores, but you may have to ask the butcher to slice it for you.
  • Don't overstuff the chicken breasts: Overstuffing the chicken breasts will make them difficult to cook evenly. Be sure to leave some room for the stuffing to expand during cooking.
  • Cook the chicken breasts to the proper temperature: The chicken breasts should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can use a meat thermometer to check the temperature of the chicken breasts.

Conclusion:

Apple prosciutto stuffed chicken breasts are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The chicken breasts are juicy and flavorful, and the prosciutto and apple stuffing adds a touch of sweetness and saltiness. This dish is sure to impress your guests!
