How to make Chicken Breasts with Curried Apple Stuffing:
There are three steps to this recipe- making the stuffing, cooking the chicken and making the sauce. And all of those tasks can be done in one pan. The recipe begins with the stuffing, and it’s easy to make. You’ll sauté chopped apple with onion, celery, golden raisins, garlic, chicken broth and curry powder.
Next, you’ll take your chicken breasts and cut a slit in them to open them up. Then the stuffing is stuffed inside the chicken pocket.
The stuffed chicken breasts are then sautéed in a skillet on both sides until the chicken is cooked through.
And finally, you’ll make the sauce. The sauce is a mix of chicken broth, apple juice, garlic and curry powder. A little cornstarch is added in later to thicken it up slightly. The chicken is added to the sauce right before serving to simmer and grab all of those saucy flavors.
And there are your Chicken Breasts with Curried Apple Stuffing. In this case, we served them with mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. the chicken has wonderful flavor. The curry flavor is there, but it’s definitely not overwhelming or spicy. The apples and raisins are a delightful pairing with the chicken and the sauce. It’s one delicious dinner.
An alternate way of serving:
If you prefer, you can sauté the chicken and serve the stuffing and sauce over the chicken instead of stuffing it. It’s really good both ways.
