Apple and walnut stuffed chicken
I think my husband summed it up best: "This one's a keeper."
His qualifications to label a recipe as such: He's an eater, and he's been on the receiving end of both the botched and the brilliant many, many times. Practically an expert.
Really, this entree has everything going for it. It's healthy, easy and seems complex. I give you apple (I used green and golden) and walnut stuffed chicken. A great meal with mashed potatoes and a green salad. Enjoy.
Apple stuffed chicken
Ingredients:
2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/2 cup chopped apple
4 Tbsp. shredded Cheddar cheese, plus more for sprinkling
2 Tbsp. Italian-style dried bread crumbs, plus more for coating chicken
1 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. chopped walnuts
2 tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 egg
Directions
Combine apples, cheese, butter (in little pieces), spices and 2 Tbsp. bread crumbs; set aside. Meanwhile, flatten chicken breasts to about 1-inch thickness. Lightly beat one egg and coat chicken in egg on both sides, roll in bread crumbs to cover chicken completely. Lay each breast in baking dish that has been coated with cooking spray. Fill each breast with apple mixture, allowing it to fall out the sides. Roll sides of chicken around filling, and secure with toothpicks. Add remaining apple mixture, if any, to baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until cooked through. About 10 minutes or so prior to removing chicken from oven, sprinkle cheese on top and allow to melt.
