Apple Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless breast halves
• 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 1 pack (6 ounces) regular chicken-flavored or whole-wheat stuffing mix
• 1/4 cup chopped celery
• 1/4 cup raisins
• 1/4 cup walnuts
• 1 cup chopped, peeled apple
• 1 tsp grated lemon peel
• 1/2 cup apple jelly
• 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Procedure

1. Slice each chicken breast through the middle horizontally, almost to the edge, leaving one end together to design an area to stuff. 
2. Slightly tap each portion to flatten just a bit, and brush extra virgin olive oil outside of each slice. Keep it aside.
3. Prepare stuffing mix following the package directions. Add celery, apple, raisins, walnuts, and lemon peel to already-prepared stuffing.
4. Evenly divide stuffing mixture into four servings, and stuff each breast with the stuffing mix. Put stuffed meat in a prepared 9 x 13-inch baking plate. Keep it aside.
5. In a saucepan, mix lemon juice, apple jelly, and cinnamon, slimmer, and cook uncovered for four minutes. Brush about 1/2 of the jelly polish on the top side of each chicken piece.
6. Bake chicken, uncovered, at 360F for 35 minutes; then pour the remaining apple jelly glaze over each breast and bake for about 25 minutes more.
