Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 4 slices of prosciutto
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a small bowl, combine diced apples, mozzarella cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Using a sharp knife, make a pocket in each chicken breast by cutting a slit horizontally through the side of the breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.

- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the filling is bubbly.
- Serve the stuffed chicken breasts hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
- Enjoy the delicious combination of tender chicken, sweet apples, and savory prosciutto in every bite!
