1/4 tsp ground pepper

4 slices firm whole wheat, or multigrain bread
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup finely chopped celery (include the leaves)
1 cup chopped, peeled granny smith apple (1 medium -large)
1/4 tsp dried thyme

skillet over medium heat. Cover the skillet and cook, stirring
occasionally, for about 2 minutes or until the vegetables and
apples start to soften. Remove the skillet from the heat, and toss in the

chicken in the pan with the bone side up. Mound a quarter
of the stuffing into the depression of the breastbone of each
piece of chicken. Spray the tops of the stuffing with cooking spray

for 40 minutes.. Remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes
or until the chicken is tender, the juices run clear and the stuffing
is lightly browned. Serve hot. 4 servings.Recipe
