Como fazer Baked Chicken On Pecan Stuffing

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 stalks celery (chopped), and 1 medium apple (peeled, cored, and chopped). Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon sage, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir to combine.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked vegetable mixture with 4 cups of cubed bread (day-old is best).
Drizzle 1/2 cup chicken broth and 1 large egg over the bread mixture. Gently stir to combine.
Stir in 1/2 cup pecan halves and 1/4 cup raisins.
Spread the stuffing evenly in a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
Place 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts on top of the stuffing. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Bake for 30 minutes.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup apple juice, 1/4 teaspoon sage, and a pinch of cinnamon. Simmer over low heat until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
Brush the glaze over the chicken breasts.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup pecan halves over the chicken.
Bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the stuffing is golden brown.
