Apple-Stuffed Chicken

Ingredients

2 Medium organic Gala apples, cored and diced
2 Cloves of garlic
1/2 Small red onion, chopped
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
1 Tablespoon of fresh and chopped sage
12 ounces of chicken breast
2 Tablespoons of bread crumbs
2 Ounces of sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 Tablespoons Coconut oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the apple, garlic, and onion in a skillet over medium heat until soft (about 3-4 minutes).

Place this into a bowl and refrigerate for 5 minutes.

Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and sage. Place it between two pieces of wax paper, and flatten it with a mallet until the chicken is about half-inch in thickness.

Take the filling, out of the fridge and add the cheese and breadcrumbs.

Divide the filling between the 2 chicken breasts. Roll up each breast, pinning them closed with a toothpick.

In the same skillet you used to heat the apples, add the coconut oil and heat the chicken breasts seam-side down. Cook on both sides until golden brown (about 8 minutes or so).

Finish cooking the chicken in the oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.

Cover with foil and let the chicken rest for at least 10 minutes before cutting.

Serve over a bed of sautéed spinach & kale, and I like to add some sauteed garlic to this as well. Can never have too much garlic! :D
