I was watching The Rachael Ray Show and she was making pork chops with an apple and onion topping...It sounded SO good, but I didn't have any pork chops on hand...SO I made it work with what I had...the results? Bacon Wrapped Apple/Onion Stuffed Chicken and it was AMAZING!!!! Ok, so this one's not so healthy...
What you'll need:
-2 apples
-2 medium onions (I used red, but you can use what sounds good to you)
-4 chicken breasts
-4 tblsp olive oil (divided)
-2 tblsp brown sugar
-1/3 cup cider vinegar
-1 package of applewood smoked bacon
What to do (Stuffing):
First you'll need to cut your onions, you'll want to slice them thinly and then into about 1/2-1 inch strips. Cut your apples in 1/4 thick bite size pieces. Heat 2 tblsp. oil in a frying on medium heat and place onions in the pan and sweat them until tender. Add your apple slices and cook them until they are tender/crisp. Add brown sugar and vinegar cook until the brown sugar melts. Remove from heat, cover and set it aside.
What to do (Chicken):
First things first...Preheat your oven to 375. Now that your stuffing is ready, and your oven's going, you have to prepare the chicken. Wash and remove any extra fat (There will be plenty of fat from the bacon) pat breasts dry with paper towel. You want to make a length-wise slip in each breast, so that you have a pocket to put your stuffing in. Pack them babies up! After stuffing all your breasts, wrap each one with 3-4 pieces of bacon. In a 9X13 baking dish, add your 2 remaining tblsps oil, place in oven to get the oil hot (about 5 minutes). Remove baking dish and place the chicken in the the dish and bake for 15 minutes, flip your chicken bake for 15 more minutes. When the time is up, drain all oil and grease from pan. Bake an extra 7-10 minutes on each side. Now you're done! I like to serve mine with corn of the cob and a green salad.
