Apple and Cheddar Stuffed Chicken

Ingredients

cooking spray

¼ teaspoon dried thyme

divided

or more to taste

3 skinless

boneless chicken breast halves

3 small apples - peeled

cored and chopped

2 ¼ ounces white Cheddar cheese (such as Babybel®)

chopped

1 teaspoon olive oil

or as needed

Meat and Poultry

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray and sprinkle with 1 pinch thyme.

Step 2

Place chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid level surface. Firmly pound chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4-inch.

Step 3

Spread apples and Cheddar cheese evenly over each chicken breast. Starting at one end roll each breast around filling and secure the roll with a toothpick through the center. Transfer breasts to prepared baking dish. Drizzle olive oil over each breast and sprinkle with remaining thyme.

Step 4

Cook chicken breasts in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
