Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 30 mins Ready Time: 45 mins


• preheat an oven to 350 degrees f (175 degrees c). grease an ovenproof baking dish; set aside.
• combine chopped apple and the 1/8 teaspoon apple pie spice in a small bowl; set aside.
• place the chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic (resealable freezer bags work well) on a solid, level surface. firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch. place one slice of prosciutto on each chicken breast. place 1/4 of the apple mixture on each chicken breast. roll up each breast and secure with a toothpick. sprinkle the 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice all over outside of chicken breasts and place into the prepared baking dish.
• bake the chicken breasts, uncovered, in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about for 25-30 minutes. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees f (74 degrees c).
• when chicken is almost done, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. whisk in flour to make a smooth paste. whisk in milk and pepper; bring to a boil. cook and stir until thickened and bubbly, about 5 minutes. serve sauce over chicken.
