The tart taste of apples and cheddar cheese season these quick, juicy chicken breasts from Betty Muir in Atlanta, Georgia. âTheyâre so easy and simply delicious,â she says. Ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped peeled apple |
2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese |
1 tablespoon dry bread crumbs |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (5 ounces each) |
1/4 cup unsweetened apple juice |
1/4 cup water |
1 tablespoon butter, melted |
3/4 teaspoon cornstarch |
1 teaspoon cold water |
1/8 teaspoon paprika |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the apple, cheese, bread crumbs, salt and pepper. Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness; top with apple mixture. Roll up and secure with toothpicks.
2. Place in an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Pour apple juice and water over chicken; brush with butter. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Discard toothpicks.
3. Transfer pan juices to a saucepan; bring to a boil. Combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth; stir into pan. Cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour over chicken. Sprinkle with paprika. Yield: 2 servings.
