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.

Provided by Nancy Rones

Categories     Chicken     Low Fat     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Yogurt     Back to School     Lunch     Apple     Healthy     Self     Small Plates

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ounces precooked chicken breast
1 tablespoon nonfat plain Greek yogurt
2 teaspoons light mayo
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup diced cucumber
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup romaine
Salt and black pepper to taste
Dried dill
6 1/2-inch whole-wheat pita
1 apple
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
Cinnamon

Steps:

  • Toss chicken breast with Greek yogurt, mayo, mustard and diced vegetables. Season with salt, black pepper and dried dill. Stuff chicken salad and romaine inside pita. Serve with apple mixed with chopped walnuts and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pita bread. Look for pita bread that is soft and fluffy, with a pocket that is large enough to hold the filling. Avoid pita bread that is too thin or crispy, as it may tear when you try to stuff it.
  • Use a variety of fillings. The possibilities are endless when it comes to stuffing pita bread. You can use anything from grilled chicken and vegetables to falafel and hummus. Get creative and experiment with different flavors and textures.
  • Don't overstuff the pita bread. You want the pita bread to be able to hold the filling without tearing, so don't overstuff it. If you're not sure how much filling to use, start with a small amount and add more as needed.
  • Serve the pita bread immediately. Pita bread is best served immediately after it is stuffed. This will prevent the bread from becoming soggy. If you need to make the pita bread ahead of time, you can store it in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the pita bread in a warm oven or microwave before serving.

Conclusion:

Stuffed pita bread is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken or vegetables, and it's also a fun and easy meal to make with kids. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a stuffed pita bread recipe that everyone will love.
