Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Apple and Cheese

Lindsay says: These chicken breasts are quick to prepare and while they are cooking in the oven you can get on with preparing the vegetables, laying the table and so on! Apple and chicken are a popular combination for children.

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 large apple, finely chopped
2 tablespoons shredded (grated) Cheddar or Swiss cheese
1 1/2 tablespoon dried bread crumbs
1 tablespoon (15g) butter
1/4 cup white wine or apple juice
1/4 cup water
Salt and pepper to taste

For the gravy:

1 tablespoon water
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

Directions:

Mix together the chopped apples, cheese and bread crumbs.

Pound the chicken breasts to flatten, then divide the apple mixture between them, putting a dollop into the centre of each breast. Roll up tightly and pin closed with toothpicks or skewers, or tie with kitchen string.

Melt the butter in a large skillet (frying pan). Sauté each breast to a golden brown. Add the white wine or apple juice and water, and cover. Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.

Remove the chicken from the pan and keep warm. Mix the cornstarch and water together to a paste, then stir into the liquid remaining in the pan and heat gently until it thickens slightly. Pour over the chicken.

Serve with vegetables.
