Moist chicken stuffed with apples and cheese, drizzled with a rich sweet creme sauce. Elegant yet affordable with simple ingredients.
Ingredients:
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 2 slices provolone cheese, halved
  • 1 Granny Smith apple - peeled, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 shallot, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 0.5 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 0.33333298563957 cup white sugar
  • 0.25 cup white wine
  • 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.25 cup finely chopped pecans
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and grease a baking pan with a light coating of oil.
  • Carefully slice a pocket in each chicken breast. Stuff each breast with 1 half-slice of provolone, half of the apple slices, and a bit of shallot or onion. Top with remaining provolone. Pull the chicken back together, drizzle with milk, and coat with breadcrumbs. Transfer stuffed breasts to a baking pan.
  • Roast in a hot oven for 30 to 35 minutes until fully cooked and juices are clear.
  • While the chicken bakes, begin making the sauce by combining egg yolks and sugar in a double boiler over simmering water. Beat until the yolk lightens and froth forms. Gradually add wine while stirring continuously until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat, then mix in pecans and vanilla. Serve the sauce under the chicken with a light drizzle on top.
