From: Tasteofhome.com
"The sweetness of the apple, the smokiness of the bacon and the heat from the chipolte pepper blends so well together in this delicious entree," writes a member from Woodinville, Washington. "It's my husband's favorite."
2 Servings
Prep: 25 min.
Bake: 15 min.
Ingredients:
2 bacon strips, diced
1 small tart apple, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons dried minced onion
2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
1/2 to 1 teaspoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened apple juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Directions
In a small skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp.
Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels; drain, reserving 1 teaspoon drippings.
Saute apple in drippings until tender.
Add the onion, applesauce, chipotle peppers and bacon; saute 2 minutes longer.
Cut a pocket in each chicken breast half; stuff with apple mixture.
In a small skillet, brown chicken in oil on both sides.
Transfer to an ungreased 8-in. square baking dish.
Bake, uncovered, at 425° for 12-15 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170°.
Meanwhile, add the flour, apple juice, salt and pepper to the
skillet; stir to loosen browned bits.
Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
