Apple Cranberry And Feta Stuffed Chicken Breast

Delicious mix of flavors

Heat 1 teaspoon water in a skillet over medium high heat.

Cook the diced apple until tender , about 3 to 4 minutes.

In a small bowl , mix the cooked apple , cranberries , shallots , feta and a splash of the chicken stock and set aside.

Cut a deep horizontal pocket in the side of each chicken breast.

Make the pocket as large as you can without piercing the top or bottom of the breast.

Place 1 / 4 of the apple mixture in the pocket of each chicken breast.

Secure the pocket with toothpicks threading along the side to close.

Heat the remaing 1 1 / 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy oven-proof skillet until it begins to smoke.

Cook each side of the chicken until golden brown.

Add the vinegar and chicken stock and bring to a boil.

Lower the heat and gently simmer the chicken for 2 or 3 minutes per side until cooked through.

Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and keep warm.

Continue to cook the sauce until it is reduced to a thick syrup.

Taste the sauce and season with salt .
