ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1⁄2 cup chopped apple
- 1⁄4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon dried breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon curry powder, plus more for outside
- kosher salt
- ground black pepper
- 1⁄4 cup dry white wine
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon water, combined with
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
directions
- Melt 1 tbsp butter. Combine apple, cheese, bread crumbs and curry powder. Stir in melted butter and set aside.
- Slice chicken breasts horizontally, parallel to the cutting board, and open like a book. Divide apple mixture between chicken breasts, and roll up each breast. Wrap in plastic wrap, twisting ends tightly to form a compact sausage shape. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours.
- Melt remaining 1 tbsp butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle rolled breasts with salt, pepper, and an additional pinch of curry powder. Place stuffed breasts in skillet and brown on all sides, 3-4 minutes per side (times 4 sides). Add wine and 1/4 cup water. Cover tightly and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink.
- Transfer chicken to a serving platter and tent with foil to keep warm. Combine 1 tablespoon water and cornstarch; stir into juices in pan. Stir continuously until thickened. Slice chicken on a slight bias and arrange on platter. Pour gravy over chicken, and garnish with parsley. Serve.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
