Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup chopped apple
  • 2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Italian-style dried bread crumbs
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix together the chopped apple, shredded cheddar cheese, and bread crumbs until well combined. Set aside.
  • Place chicken breasts between two sheets of wax paper and use a meat mallet to gently pound them to 1/4-inch thickness.
  • Divide the apple mixture evenly between the chicken breasts. Spread the filling across each breast, then roll them up tightly. Secure with toothpicks.
  • Melt butter in a 7-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the stuffed chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides.
  • Pour in the wine and 1/4 cup water. Cover the skillet and let the chicken simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until it is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a serving platter, keeping the juices in the pan.
  • In a small bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon of water and cornstarch until smooth. Add this mixture to the skillet juices and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens into a gravy.
  • Pour the gravy over the stuffed chicken and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
