Ingredients

Marinade:

Directions

For the marinade: Place the red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, the mustards, and honey in a food processor. Turn it on and drizzle in the olive oil until fully incorporated (emulsified). Marinate the chicken breasts overnight in this mixture.

Preheat grill or grill pan on high. Remove chicken breasts from the marinade and transfer to a plate. Season them with salt and pepper. Mark the chicken breasts by grilling them only long enough to make grill marks and then rotating them about 45 degrees to make crosshatch marks. Do this on 1 side only. The chicken breasts should still be completely raw inside. Hold breasts in refrigerator until ready to stuff.

For the stuffing: Peel, core, and very roughly chop the apples. Melt the butter in a saute pan over medium/high heat and add the apples. Cook the apples for roughly 5 to 10 minutes or until they are deeply browned. Remove from heat and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the fontina and cherries and mix. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

For the chicken: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Cut a slit in the side of each breast (in the thicker part) about 1-inch wide, creating a pocket almost as large as the breast itself. Stuff the breasts with the apple stuffing mix – cramming in as much as possible without ripping the breast. At this point the breasts are ready to bake and can either be held in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours or baked right away. When ready to bake, place on a baking sheet and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 155 degrees F in the thickest part of the breast.

    Fabulous recipe! Easy to prepare! You can probably substitute marinade for ready made (italian dressing, etc., which takes as long to prepare as the stuffing and make very short work of a fabulous recipe. Stuffing only takes 15-20 minutes to prep maximum. This is the first recipe that I felt obliged to review and I've had plenty of great recipes off of this website and elsewhere. Top notch. This is why I go here when my cabinet full of cookbooks don't have something new or otherwise interesting (to me for a particular meat. Deserves more than 4 stars.

    This recipe is amazing. To those who said it was "just ok" but substituted a bunch of ingredients - no kidding, you think? Make it as close to the recipe as possible and you will NOT be disappointed. We paired it with a La Crema 2009 Chardonnay and it was HEAVEN. The stuffing alone smells and tastes like an apple pie - so delicious!

    It was ok. I changed the stuffing to dried cranberries and feta instead of cherries and fontina. The stuffing was great, it was the marinade that ruined the dish. All I could taste was vinegar and I only marinated the chicken for 1 hour. I would make it again but only use a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and no red wine vinegar in the marinade.
