With a hectic schedule and cooler temperatures taking over this past week, I decided that a comfort meal of chicken and stuffing was in order. With fall flavors like apple, cranberry, and herbs, this recipe was the perfect mix of sweet and savory.
The recipe:
Preheat oven to 375 and spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick spray.
Peel & slice two small apples (I used Gala) and use to line the bottom of the baking dish.
Combine 2 Tbsp flour, 1 tsp brown sugar, and ¼ tsp cinnamon. Sprinkle over apples.
Brown 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in olive oil, about 5 minutes each side, and place on top of apples.
In a separate pan, sautée 1 small onion and 2 chopped celery stalks in a bit of butter for about 5 minutes. Add in 1 cup apple juice, 1 ½ cups herb stuffing, and ¼ cup dried cranberries. Remove from heat and stir until just combined. Place over chicken.
Cover the dish with foil & bake for 50 minutes at 375 degrees. After 50 minutes, remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Note: The recipe originally calls for bone-in pork chops, but in all honesty, meat with bones still attached kind of freaks me out. I'll cook it, but begrudgingly. So, I opted for boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
Happy Cooking.
