This is a vagabond recipe.
I first placed the recipe on my menu in early September. As it happens sometimes, when the day came to make the recipe, something came up and it never got made. I then moved it to the following week. That day came, and something else came up.
After a total of four tries, I finally made this recipe.
It is difficult to argue with the combination of apples and chicken. The other ingredients, cheese and breadcrumbs, at first seemed a little odd, but they worked.
A pretty straightforward set of ingredients.
The stuffing ingredients.
I will often use thinly sliced breasts to avoid having to pound out my own, but in doing so, you end up with less chicken and can put less stuffing in. I went ‘Old school’ on these breasts.
Feeling stuffed? This chicken is.
The dish was pretty good. I am not sure the cheese or breadcrumbs added much to the taste, though.
