Apple And Prosciutto Stuffed Chicken Breast Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spread 1 tablespoon of olive oil on a baking sheet, and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the shallots, and cook until they turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper; cook and stir an additional 2 minutes. Transfer the shallot mixture to a bowl. Mix in the goat cheese, dates, and basil; stir until well combined.
• With a sharp knife, cut a 1-inch long slit into the thick side of each chicken breast. Work your fingers into the slit, and expand the slit to form a pocket in the breast meat. With your fingers or a spoon, stuff each chicken breast with about 1/4 cup of the goat cheese mixture. Wipe off any cheese mixture from the outside of the chicken breast, and wrap each breast in a slice of prosciutto so that the pocket opening is covered. Place the chicken breasts, seam sides down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken meat is no longer pink and the prosciutto is browned and crisp, about 40 minutes. Turn the chicken breasts over after 20 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a glass ovenproof baking dish and set aside.
• 2. In a small bowl, combine the apple and 1/8 teaspoon apple pie spice. Set aside.

• 4. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
• 5. Place one slice of prosciutto on each chicken breast.
• 6. Place 1/4 of the apple mixture on each chicken breast. Roll up each breast and secure with a toothpick.
• 7. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice all over the outside of the chicken breast and place into the prepared glass baking dish.
• 8. Bake the chicken breasts, uncovered, in the preheated oven until they are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear which takes about 25 to 30 minutes.
• 9. When the chicken is almost done, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
• 10. Whisk in the flour to make a smooth paste.
• 11. Whisk in the whole milk and fresh ground black pepper.
• 12. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly which takes about 5 minutes.
