If you are looking for a really delicious and impressive dinner recipe that is super easy to make, this is it! I’ve included a description of how to make this Gouda Stuffed Chicken below. There is a short list of ingredients needed, and the apple pan sauce is such a wonderful addition to the cheesy chicken!
Ingredients needed:
chicken breasts smoked Gouda all purpose flour salt and pepper canola or vegetable oil chicken broth apple cider garlic honey Granny Smith apples fresh rosemary, for garnish!
Ingredient note:
Use Granny Smith apples for this recipe! The tart flavor of a Granny Smith apple is a good match with Smoked Gouda. And Granny Smiths will hold their shape when cooking in the skillet and won’t fall apart into an applesauce-like consistency.
How to make Gouda Stuffed Chicken:
Use a knife to make a “pocket” down the middle of each chicken breast. Divide the smoke Gouda cheese among the pockets. Dip each stuffed chicken breast in a mixture of flour, salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet. Cook the chicken breasts on each side until done. Remove the cooked chicken from the pan and put into a warm oven while you make the sauce.
How to make Apple Pan Sauce:
To a skillet, add chicken broth, apple cider and garlic. Simmer for 10 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and syrupy. Add honey and apple slices. Cook an additional 5 minutes to soften the apples and coat them thoroughly with the sauce.
Serve the gouda stuffed chicken topped with the apple pan sauce. It’s such a delicious fall dinner!
Cheese and apples have had a long-standing, good relationship, and it works here too. Melted Gouda cheese happens to be a really delicious pairing with the apple pan sauce.
