How to Make Chicken Breasts With Curried Apple Stuffing

  1. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped celery. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until tender.
  3. Add 1 medium apple (about 1 cup chopped), 1 teaspoon curry powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 3 minutes, or until apple is tender.
  4. Stir in 1/4 cup raisins, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, and 1/3 cup chicken broth.
  5. Cook for 4 minutes, or until the liquid is almost evaporated.
  6. Transfer the apple mixture to a small bowl and set aside.
  7. Cut a horizontal slit through the thickest part of each of 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each) to form a pocket.
  8. Stuff about 1/4 cup of the apple mixture into each chicken breast pocket.
  9. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat.
  10. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and cook for 6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  11. Remove the chicken from the skillet and keep warm.
  12. Add 3/4 teaspoon curry powder, 1/2 cup chicken broth, 1/4 cup apple juice, and 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic to the skillet.
  13. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce is reduced to about 1 cup.
  14. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
  15. Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet.
  16. Whisk constantly until the sauce thickens and comes to a boil (about 1 minute).
  17. Return the chicken to the skillet.
  18. Cover and simmer for 2 minutes, or until heated through.
  19. Serve the chicken immediately, spooning the sauce over the top.
