This dish is perfect for a cozy fall evening or a special dinner with loved ones. Let’s dive in and discover how to create this delicious masterpiece!

Ingredients:

• chicken breasts
• apple
• cheddar cheese
• honey
• dried thyme
• salt and pepper

Kitchen Tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• meat mallet
• oven-safe skillet

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.

Next, layer the thinly sliced apples and grated cheddar cheese on one side of each chicken breast. Drizzle a bit of honey over the filling for a touch of sweetness. Carefully fold the other half of the chicken breast over the filling to create a pocket.

Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit of olive oil. Once hot, sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Once done, remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the apple and cheddar stuffed chicken breasts with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 600g, with 2 servings. Each serving weighs around 300g, with an estimated calorie count of 400 per serving.

Clever Tip:

For an extra flavorful twist, try adding some chopped walnuts to the filling mixture before stuffing the chicken breasts. The nutty crunch adds a delicious texture to the dish!
