Autumn is the season of apples, so the national food retail network “Elvi” together with chef and nutritionist Yevgenia Jansons offers a recipe for chicken fillet stuffed with apples and a charming apple cobbler.
Chicken fillet in bacon with apple and cheese filling
(for 2 persons, cooking time 40 min)
Ingredients
2 chicken fillets
4-6 thin slices of bacon
4-8 slices of cheese
1 sweet and sour apple, cored, thinly sliced
For the sauce
3-4 tbsp. olive oils
3-4 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. syrup or honey
Thyme leaves
1 tsp. mustard
salt, black pepper
Preparation
- Mix all the ingredients of the sauce to a homogeneous consistency.
- Make a horizontal cut in the middle of each chicken fillet to form a “pocket”, spread the fillet a little (you can also not do this, but it makes the meat softer), smear the fillets with the sauce from all sides.
- Put apple slices in the “pocket” and cheese slices on top of them.
- Wrap each fillet in 2-3 slices of bacon (depending on the size of the fillets) and place in the heat-resistant container.
- Bake in the oven (180 degrees) for 35-40 minutes, until the meat is ready (a clear liquid should come out of the meat when poked with a stick).
Apple cobbler
(for 8-10 servings, cooking time 1.5 hours)
