Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon butter
4 (6 ounce) bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 medium apples, cored and thinly sliced (such as Autumn Glory®)
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
1 ½ teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
½ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon poultry seasoning
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup chicken broth
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and add to the hot skillet, skin-side down, leaving at least 1 inch between the breasts to ensure even cooking and browning. Cook until skin is browned, about 6 minutes. Turn and cook an additional 6 minutes until browned on both sides. Transfer chicken breasts to a plate.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet and stir in apples and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 minutes. Season with sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, poultry seasoning, and pepper; stir to combine.
  • While apples are cooking, whisk together chicken broth, whipping cream, honey, and mustard in a small bowl. Pour broth mixture in with the seasoned apples and onions and gently scrape browned bits from the bottom using a wooden spoon. Slide chicken breasts back into the skillet, nestling them between onions and apples.
  • Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and cook until chicken is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Chicken breast is an excellent source of protein, and it's a versatile meat that goes well with many side dishes. One of the best ways to make chicken breast more flavourful is to stuff it with other ingredients. One great combination is apple and raisin stuffing. This stuffing adds a sweet and savoury flavour to the chicken breast that is sure to impress dinner guests or family members. In this article, we'll provide valuable tips to help you make the best apple raisin stuffed chicken breast recipes without any recipes.

Tip 1: Choose the Right Chicken Breast

The first step in making apple raisin stuffed chicken breast is to select the right chicken breasts. Look for chicken breasts that are thick and evenly sized so that you can make a pocket in the middle to add the stuffing. You may want to consider purchasing organic or free-range chicken if possible because it will be more flavorful and healthier. Additionally, make sure to check the expiration date and that the chicken is fresh.

Tip 2: Prepare the Stuffing

The next step is to prepare the apple raisin stuffing. Start by chopping up the apple and raisins into small pieces. You can use any type of apple, but tart apples like Granny Smith will add a nice contrast to the sweetness of the raisins. Next, mix the apple and raisins with some breadcrumbs and seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Optionally, you can also add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunchiness.

Tip 3: Cut a Pocket in the Chicken Breast

To stuff the chicken breast, you'll need to make a pocket in the thickest part of it. Use a sharp knife to cut a horizontal slit in the middle of the chicken breast, being careful not to cut through it. Then, use your fingers to widen the pocket and create more space for the stuffing. Make sure not to overstuff the chicken breast, as it may leak or not cook evenly.

Tip 4: Brown the Chicken Breast

Before baking or roasting the stuffed chicken breast, it's a good idea to brown the outside of it. This step will create a flavorful crust on the chicken breast and help seal in the juices. Heat some oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and place the chicken breasts in it. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side or until it gets a golden brown color.

Tip 5: Bake or Roast the Chicken Breast

Once the chicken breasts are browned, you can bake or roast them in the oven until they are cooked through. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chicken breast and the oven temperature. Generally, chicken breasts should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature and avoid overcooking the chicken. Optionally, you can add some sliced apples or onions on top of the chicken breasts for extra flavor and presentation.

Tip 6: Let the Chicken Rest

After the chicken breasts are done, it's essential to let them rest for a few minutes before slicing them. Resting the meat will allow the juices to redistribute and make the chicken breast more tender and juicy. Cover the chicken breasts with aluminum foil and let them rest for at least five minutes.

Tip 7: Serve with a Side Dish

Finally, serve the apple raisin stuffed chicken breast with your favorite side dish. Some great options are roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes, quinoa, rice, or a side salad. You may also want to drizzle some gravy or sauce over the chicken breast for added flavor. The possibilities are endless, depending on your taste and dietary preferences.

Conclusion

In conclusion, making apple raisin stuffed chicken breast is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this poultry meat. By following these valuable tips, you can create a restaurant-quality dish that will impress your guests or family members. Remember to choose the right chicken breasts, prepare the stuffing, cut a pocket in the chicken breast, brown it, bake or roast it, let it rest, and serve it with a side dish. Get creative and experiment with different stuffing ingredients and side dishes until you find your favorite. Enjoy!
