Serves 3-6  

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise, salted

1½  cups finely diced Granny Smith apples

1/4 cup golden seedless raisins

1/4 cup chopped pecans

3 tablespoons minced onion

Apple Glaze

1/4 cup orange juice concentrate

1/4 cup margarine

1/4 cup apple jelly

1/4 cup dry sherry or chicken stock 

Preparation

Pound chicken breast halves to ¼-inch thickness. In a medium bowl, combine apples, raisins, pecans, and onions; mix well. Place spoonful of stuffing on each chicken breast. Roll breast and secure with toothpicks. Prepare a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray. Bake uncovered at 350 F for 45 minutes. Brush frequently with apple glaze.

Meanwhile, place ½ cup of the apple glaze and leftover stuffing in a small skillet and cook on medium-low until apples are golden brown and soft. 

To make apple glaze, place all glaze ingredients into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; then simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.

To serve, place a spoonful of cooked stuffing onto a plate and top with stuffed chicken breast.
