Expert Tips

Blue cheese has a bold, pungent flavor, so only a small amount is needed to season this recipe. The sharp and salty taste of blue cheese goes well with apple.

Crisp apples with a sweet-tart flavor work best for this recipe. Try Braeburn or Granny Smith apples.

Garnish each serving of these stuffed chicken breasts with a sprig of fresh herbs, such as chives or thyme.
