Ingredients -

1/2 Cup Fuji Apple, finely chopped
1/8 Teaspoon Apple Pie Spice
4 Chicken Breast Halves, skinless, boneless
4 Thin Slices Prosciutto
1/2 Teaspoon Apple Pie Spice
1 Tablespoon Salted Butter
1 Tablespoon All-Purpose Flour
2/3 Cup Whole Milk
1 Dash Fresh Ground Black Pepper

 
Preparation:

1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Grease a glass ovenproof baking dish and set aside.

3. In a small bowl combine the apple and the 1/8 teaspoon apple pie spice.

4. Set aside.

5. Place the chicken breasts between two gallon zip lock bags on a solid, level surface.

6. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch.

7. Place one slice of prosciutto on each chicken breast.

8. Place 1/4 of the apple mixture on each chicken breast.

9. Roll up each breast and secure with a toothpick.

10. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice all over the outside of the chicken breasts and place into the prepared glass baking dish.

11. Bake the chicken breasts, uncovered, in the preheated oven until they are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear which takes about 25-30 minutes.

12. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F.

13. When the chicken is almost done, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.

14. Whisk in the flour to make a smooth paste.

15. Whisk in the whole milk and fresh ground black pepper.
