CHICKEN AND APPLE STUFFING CASSEROLE
Is it a sweet and savory bread pudding? Or, is it a casserole? Perhaps it is a chicken and stuffing skillet--you decide. At any rate, this dish only needs a 12-inch nonstick, oven-proof skillet, a spoon, a knife, a cutting board, a whisk, and some measuring cups. It comes together fairly quickly, too!

CHICKEN WITH APPLES AND STUFFING
Originally a recipe from Taste of Home's "Five Ingredient Cookbook," but I have done much tweaking to get it just right. This one is so yummy and filling, and the flavors blend surprisingly nicely. If you can find apple pie filling with cinnamon already added, you can just use that. Usually I can't find it at my store. Also I frequently cannot find 6 oz. packages of stuffing mix, so I just make about 2 cups of stuffing, or a whole box, and put the extra on the side. This recipe was originally for pork, so you can also substitute 6 boneless pork loin chops for the chicken. We are more chicken fans at my house! You can also leave the chicken breasts whole if you prefer. I just find it blends nicely with them chopped.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Chop chicken, season with salt, pepper and 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, rubbing dry spices in thoroughly.
- In a skillet, brown chicken in oil over medium-high heat, adding honey as soon as the chicken hits the pan and starts sizzling! Toss to coat chicken. Remove as soon as chicken is cooked on all sides.
- Meanwhile, prepare stuffing according to package directions.
- Spread pie filling in a greased 8-in. x 8-in. square baking dish. Stir in 1 teaspoons cinnamon if not already included in pie filling. *Note: At this juncture, you may want to remove apples from their sauce and dice them up, then return. I find that though the apple flavor blends nicely, the whole apple slices frequently overpower the other components of the dish.
- Add chicken over the top of the pie filling, and then add the stuffing on top.
- Cover and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover; bake 5-8 minutes longer or just until top of stuffing browns just a bit and pie filling starts to bubble.

Tips:
- To ensure that the chicken is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check that the chicken is cooked by piercing it with a fork. The juices should run clear, not pink.
- For a crispier skin, roast the chicken at a higher temperature for a shorter period of time. For example, you could roast the chicken at 425°F (220°C) for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- If you want a more flavorful stuffing, add some chopped vegetables, such as celery, carrots, or onions. You could also add some herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
- To make sure that the stuffing doesn't dry out, add some moisture, such as chicken broth or apple cider. You could also add some butter or olive oil.
Conclusion:
Baked chicken with apple stuffing is a classic dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
