How to Make Apple Raisin Stuffed Chicken Breast
- Melt 2 tablespoons of margarine in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 cup chicken broth and stir until combined.
- Add 1 cup stuffing mix, 1/2 cup chopped apple (about 1 medium), and 1/4 cup raisins to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
- Evenly divide the stuffing mixture among 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each).
- Roll up each chicken breast and secure with toothpicks.
- Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of margarine in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Brown the chicken breasts on all sides in the skillet. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, whisk together 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of dried tarragon.
- Gradually whisk in the remaining 2/3 cup of chicken broth, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens and comes to a boil.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove toothpicks before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
