Instructions

Marinade:

Mix in a bowl. Rinse chicken breast and place in a ziplock bag or tupperware immersed in the marinade. As much as I dislike using plastic bags, the chicken will marinate better in a ziplock. Marinate from 30 minutes to a few hours in the fridge.

Apple and Blue-Bheese stuffed Chicken Breast:

Preheat oven to 350. Slice the chicken breast down the middle – there should be an obvious seam. Add the chicken breast to a small baking dish with the marinade. Stuff the middle with the apples and blue cheese. Fold back over. Cover dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes at 350. Increase the temperature to 375 and continue to bake for 20 min. Bobby taught me that because the chicken was cooked in liquid, the correct term is “braising”. Braised chicken! Wow. So juicy delicious.

Side Dish – Zucchini Ribbons:

Slice the squash into ribbons with a vegetable peeler. Lightly sautee in olive oil for a few minutes. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
