Ingredients

Maple-Cranberry Sauce

  • 1 cup Frozen Cranberries
  • 1/4 cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1/8 cup Water

Chicken Filling

  • 1/2 cup Yellow Squash diced
  • 1/2 pound Asparagus diced
  • 1/2 cup Mushrooms diced
  • 1/3 cup Red Onion diced
  • 2 medium Carrots diced
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt
  • 1 tsp Dried Basil

Meat

  • 1 1/2 pounds Chicken Breasts thinly sliced
  • 1 1/4 cups Ham diced

Instructions

Maple-Cranberry Sauce

  • Combine cranberries, maple syrup and water in a small saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat and then reduce heat to maintain a simmer.
  • Simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the berries have popped and the sauce has thickened.
  • Set aside to cool a bit until ready to assemble the dish.

Filling

  • In a large skillet heated to medium heat, sauté the vegetables with the olive oil. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  • Stir in seasonings and ham, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the ham is heated up a bit.

Assemble

  • Layout the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board. Place a layer of the cranberry sauce onto the breasts. Add a large scoop of the vegetable filling.
  • Wrap the ends of each breast together, bringing to edges together to try and make a stuffed chicken log or packet. Use a toothpick or string to keep the chicken closed.
  • Place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
