I am really not one for big pieces of chicken. Like eating a breast of chicken as the main portion of a meal: gross.  Cut up in a casserole or fried in a nugget is more my style. Anyway, last week I made this when I wasn't really in the mood for cooking and LOVED it. It was easy and yummy.  I'm not morally opposed to cooking with wine but don't typically traverse the wine aisle so I used chicken broth and it was fine.  Also, I had extra stuffing that I threw in with the chicken which ended up in the sauce.

Ingredients
                          -                      2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
-                      1/2 cup chopped apple
-                      2 tablespoons shredded Cheddar cheese
-                      1 tablespoon Italian-style dried bread crumbs
-                      1 tablespoon butter
-                      1/4 cup dry white wine
-                      1/4 cup water
-                      1 tablespoon water
-                      1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
-                      1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
           
                           Directions
                                   -                      Combine apple, cheese, and bread crumbs. Set aside.                 
-  Flatten chicken breasts between sheets of waxed paper to 1/4 inch thickness. Divide apple mixture between chicken breasts, and roll up each breast. Secure with toothpicks. 
-  Melt butter or margarine in a 7 inch skillet over medium heat. Brown stuffed chicken breasts. Add wine and 1/4 cup water. Cover. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink. 
-  Transfer chicken to a serving platter. Combine 1 tablespoon water and cornstarch; stir into juices in pan. Cook and stir until thickened. Pour gravy over chicken, and garnish with parsley. Serve.
