Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tbsp salt , divided
  • 1 tbsp freshly ground black pepper , divided
  • 1 cup crumbled cornbread
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries , roughly chopped
  • ½ cup apple jelly
  • 3 dried apple rings, finely minced
  • ½ cup cream cheese
  • Olive oil
  • Honey

Directions

1

Combine ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp black pepper, cornbread, fruit, jelly, and cheese. Pour into a gallon (4 liter) size zip-top bag with a very small hole snipped in one of the bottom corners.

2

Using a narrow boning knife, make a slit in one of the chicken breast's side, but not all the way through. Repeat until all chicken has been cut.

3

Fill the slits ⅔ of the way full with the cornbread mixture. Brush the edges with honey and press together to seal. Tie closed with kitchen twine.

4

Place the chicken in a large roasting pan. Brush with olive oil and season each piece liberally with remaining salt and pepper.

5

Insert a probe thermometer in one of the pieces, but not touching stuffing. Place pan in the center of a 400°F (205°C) oven and cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C)

6

Remove to a plate and cover with aluminum foil . Let rest 7 minutes before removing thermometer and untying. Serve warm.
