Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup chopped apples, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup sweet red wine, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground cloves, and 2 tbsp honey. Stir to form the haroset filling.
- Step 2: Pat dry 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each). Using a sharp knife, cut a horizontal pocket in each breast about 3 inches long, being careful not to cut through.
- Step 3: Stuff each chicken breast pocket evenly with the haroset mixture. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Step 4: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season the stuffed chicken breasts with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp ground black pepper, then sear them for 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Step 5: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the chicken breasts for 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and juices run clear.
- Step 6: Remove from oven, discard toothpicks, sprinkle with 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley, and serve warm.
