STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH APPLE CIDER VINEGAR SAUCE
This is a much altered version of a recipe I found online a few years ago. I simplified it and it actually tastes better than the more difficult version. My family loves this recipe. My husband literally drinks the sauce. These are great for 4 or for 24. Very easy to scale up for large dinner parties.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees.
- For stuffing boil enough water to soak apricots and cranberries. Let soak for 15 minutes. Let apricots cool slightly and cut into small pieces and add to bowl with tomatoes and feta cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Using sharp knife, cut horizontal slit 3/4 way through each chicken breast. Open like a book and place on a cooking sheet. I use a cooking stone sheet with great results. Place a couple of layers of spinach on each inside side of chicken breast. No need to steam first. Place as much of the stuffing mix as you can on one side and close the breast over. I don't use string, but you can if you find it easier. I stuff as much as I can, almost to the point of overstuffing.
- Lightly brush olive oil over breasts. Cover with foil for the first 10 mins of baking and then remove foil for last 30 mins or so. Actual time depends on breast size. I remove from oven when internal temp is 175 degrees. Cover with foil while you complete the sauce. I usually let sit covered for 10 mins or so.
- For sauce melt 1 tbsp butter in sauce pan on medium heat. Add garlic and brown. Add the cider vinegar and boil 2 minutes. Add the sugar and beef stock and reduce temperature slightly and continue to boil until sauce is reduced to desired thickness and taste. About 10-15 mins should do it. You can dilute with additional stock if you boil down too much. Season to taste with salt and pepper. You can play around with sugar and vinegar amounts to get the flavor that is right for you.
- You can serve breast as is or sliced. I prefer whole as I find that it tends to fall apart. Pour sauce over and serve.

Sandy Friede NEWBURYPORT, MASSACHUSETTS Here's a savory entree that's easy to make but elegant enough for company. I like to double the recipe and then freeze individual size portions for those busy days when I work late and don't have time to cook.

Steps:
- To make the stuffing, process the nuts in a food processor or blender until they are finely ground. Add the butter and process until smooth. Add the cream, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne and process until well combined.
- To prepare the chicken breasts, place each breast half between sheets of wax paper and flatten with a mallet, the flat side of a cleaver or a rolling pin to a thickness of about half an inch. Place the breasts smooth side down on a work surface and discard the wax paper. Lay one slice of ham on each breast half. Spread approximately three teaspoons of stuffing on top of the ham. Beginning with the narrowest end of the breast, roll up into a neat, plump shape, tucking the edges in. Secure with toothpicks.
- Strew the onions, carrot and apple in a baking dish large enough so that the rolled breasts fit snugly. Place the breasts on top of the vegetables. In a saucepan, melt four tablespoons of the butter and brush some of it on the breasts. Bake uncovered in the center of a preheated 375-degree oven for 10 minutes. Baste with butter and bake 10 minutes more. Turn the breasts over, baste and bake another 10 minutes. While the chicken cooks, boil the cider and vinegar in a saucepan over high heat until reduced to six tablespoons. Set aside. Transfer the chicken breasts to a warm platter and cover with foil.
- Transfer the onions, carrot, apple and any juices from the baking pan to a food processor. Add the cider reduction and puree until it is smooth. Press through a sieve set over a medium saucepan, reheat over low heat and whisk in the remaining tablespoon of butter. Keep warm.
- To prepare the garnish, heat the butter in a large, heavy skillet. Dredge one side of each apple slice in sugar and place sugared side down in the hot butter. Cook over medium-high heat for four to five minutes or until deep golden brown. Sprinkle the remaining sugar on the apples, turn over and brown the other side.
- Add any juices that have collected from the chicken to the sauce; reheat sauce if necessary. To serve, cut each chicken breast into one-quarter- to one-third-inch slices; discard toothpicks. Divide the sauce evenly among four plates, place slices on top of sauce in an overlapping pattern and garnish with two or three apple slices. Pass remaining sauce separately.
