Don’t be intimidated by the name. This Apple & Sage Chicken Breast Recipe takes less than 20 minutes from start to finish. A sweet cider pan sauce accompanies it. If you’ve never stuffed a chicken breast before, after this recipe you will. It’s so easy!
Make a slit on the side and stuff. No biggie! I added some yummy Emmental cheese to the chicken as well, its complex buttery flavor complements its counterparts well. If you’re not a fan leave it out.
My Apple & Sage Chicken Breast Recipe is perfect for a quick weeknight meal or for hosting company too. Serve it with a side of rice, mashed potatoes, or Quinoa. Also, a nice green salad would go great as well.
Now let’s get our hands dirty and start cooking up some chicken! Here’s the willy-nilly:
Slice your apples and Emmental cheese thinly, and chop the sage into strips. Those are the ingredients of the filling. Still here? Good! Now make a slit on the side of your chicken breast and insert the filling.
Don’t overfill your chicken, otherwise, the filling will come out during cooking. I inserted 2 pieces of each.

There’s my chicken breast smiling for the camera! They’re happy to be getting stuffed with yummy ingredients.
After stuffing them, heat a large skillet with olive oil. Salt and pepper your chicken breasts on both sides and add them to the skillet. Brown them on each side and add the cider (or apple juice). Cover and cook until they’re done – about 7-8 minutes.
I hope you can try this recipe and see how delicious the apple is, the sage flavoring, and the melty cheese. Also, I hope the stuffing stigma has ended and you can add this chicken breast recipe to your weekly repertoire.
