Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts
470g
1/2 cup apple
54g
2 oz cheddar cheese
54g
1 tbsp bread crumbs
7g
1 tbsp butter
14g
2 fl oz white wine
60g
1/4 cup water
60g
1 tbsp fresh parsley
3.80g
1.50 tsp cornstarch
4g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Stuffing:
a. In a small mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped apple, shredded cheddar cheese, and bread crumbs. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Prepare the Chicken:
a. Butterfly each chicken breast by making a horizontal cut through the thickest part of the breast without cutting all the way through. Open up the breast to create a pocket.
b. Stuff each chicken breast with the apple-cheese mixture, then fold the breast back over to enclose the stuffing. You can secure the opening with toothpicks if needed.
4. Cook the Chicken:
a. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter.
b. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the stuffed chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown.
5. Bake the Chicken:
a. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Prepare the White Wine Sauce:
a. While the chicken is baking, make the sauce. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water to create a slurry.
b. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet and place it on a plate to rest. Tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
c. Place the skillet back on the stove over medium heat. Carefully add the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.
d. Add the 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and bring it to a simmer.
e. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry, continuing to whisk until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Finish the Dish:
a. Once the sauce has thickened, stir in the chopped parsley.
b. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over the top to coat.
8. Serve:
a. Serve the apple-stuffed chicken breasts hot, drizzled with additional white wine sauce.

Tips:

- Ensure the chicken breasts are evenly sized to promote even cooking.

- If your apples are overly juicy, consider patting them dry with a paper towel to avoid a soggy stuffing.

- For a healthier alternative, use reduced-fat cheddar cheese.

- Allow the stuffed chicken breasts to rest for a few minutes after baking to retain their juices.

- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.

- Garnish with fresh parsley for an added touch of color and flavor.
