Chicken Stuffed with Golden Onions & Fontina

 
chicken stuffed with golden onions & fontina

A semi-firm cheese that's nonetheless quite creamy, fontina melts into pure heaven. Combined with caramelized onions, fontina becomes a nutty, gooey, irresistible filling for chicken breasts.

Prep Time:35 minutes
Ready in:35 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ease of Prep:Moderate
Recipe Ingredients
 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil , divided
 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced red onion
 2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary , divided
 1/8 teaspoon salt
  Freshly ground pepper to taste
 2/3 cup shredded fontina cheese , preferably aged
 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound), trimmed of fat
 1/2 cup white wine
 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
 4 teaspoons all-purpose flour


Recipe Directions
  1. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and 1 teaspoon rosemary; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden brown, 6 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool; stir in fontina.
  2. Meanwhile, cut a horizontal slit along the thin, long edge of each chicken breast half, nearly through to the opposite side. Stuff each breast with 1/4 cup of the onion-cheese mixture.
  3. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
  4. Add wine and the remaining 1 teaspoon rosemary to the pan. Cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Whisk broth and flour in a bowl until smooth; add to the pan, reduce heat to low and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Return the chicken to the pan and coat with the sauce. Cook, covered, until the chicken is just cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes. Serve the chicken topped with the sauce.

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, arguably the most versatile cut of chicken, are very low in fat, only 1 to 2 grams of fat per serving. Conveniently, one 4- to 5-ounce breast, tender removed, yields a perfect 3-ounce cooked portion. When preparing, trim any excess fat from the outer edge of the breast.

Chicken tenders, virtually fat-free, are a strip of rib meat typically found attached to the underside of
the chicken breast, but they can also be purchased separately. Four 1-ounce tenders will yield a 3-ounce cooked portion. Tenders are perfect for quick stir-fries, chicken satay or kid-friendly breaded "chicken fingers."

Health Advantages: low calorie, low carb, low sat fat, low sodium, heart healthy, healthy weight.
