Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped in bite-size pieces
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, to taste
  • 1 -2 tablespoon honey, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 (6 ounce) package seasoned stuffing mix, flavor of choice
  • 1 (21 ounce) can apple pie filling
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Chop chicken, season with salt, pepper and 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, rubbing dry spices in thoroughly.
  • In a skillet, brown chicken in oil over medium-high heat, adding honey as soon as the chicken hits the pan and starts sizzling! Toss to coat chicken. Remove as soon as chicken is cooked on all sides.
  • Meanwhile, prepare stuffing according to package directions.
  • Spread pie filling in a greased 8-in. x 8-in. square baking dish. Stir in 1 teaspoons cinnamon if not already included in pie filling. *Note: At this juncture, you may want to remove apples from their sauce and dice them up, then return. I find that though the apple flavor blends nicely, the whole apple slices frequently overpower the other components of the dish.
  • Add chicken over the top of the pie filling, and then add the stuffing on top.
  • Cover and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover; bake 5-8 minutes longer or just until top of stuffing browns just a bit and pie filling starts to bubble.
