Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Combine sliced apple with lemon juice.
Carefully cut a slit in each chicken breast horizontally. Open up the sliced chicken and place sliced cheese in an even layer. Then top with sliced apple. Close the stuffed chickens and brush them with 1 tbsp olive oil then sprinkle with salt, pepper and dried parsley.
Place the the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for 28-32 minutes (cook time will depend on how thick your chicken breasts are), or until chicken is cooked through.
With about 10 minutes left of bake time for the chicken, begin to make your dijon sauce.
Combine all of the dijon garlic sauce ingredients in a small sauce pan and whisk together over medium low heat. Once the sauce starts to simmer, reduce heat to low and whisk frequently.
Spoon dijon garlic sauce on top of each chicken breast and serve immediately.. enjoy!
