Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup finely chopped apple
⅛ teaspoon apple pie spice
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
4 thin slices prosciutto
½ teaspoon apple pie spice
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
⅔ cup milk
1 dash ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an ovenproof baking dish; set aside.
  • Combine chopped apple and the 1/8 teaspoon apple pie spice in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Place one slice of prosciutto on each chicken breast. Place 1/4 of the apple mixture on each chicken breast. Roll up each breast and secure with a toothpick. Sprinkle the 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice all over outside of chicken breasts and place into the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake the chicken breasts, uncovered, in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about for 25-30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • When chicken is almost done, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour to make a smooth paste. Whisk in milk and pepper; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Serve sauce over chicken.
