White Cheddar, Apple and Cranberry Stuffed Chicken
White Cheddar, Apple and Cranberry Stuffed Chicken is ready in just 30 minutes and is full of flavor! The mix of sweet, tangy and creamy flavors will make this one of your favorite easy meals!
The first stuffed chicken recipe that I made was this Apple-Cheddar Stuffed Chicken with Apple Cider-Dijon Sauce. It was so good that I immediately put a bunch of other stuffed chicken recipe ideas on my must-make recipe list that I keep handy at all times. I wanted to make another simple recipe that also tasted delicious. That is how this White Cheddar, Apple and Cranberry Stuffed Chicken was created!
Sharp white cheddar cheese is full of flavor and tastes delicious along with the other ingredients used in this recipe. I used golden delicious apples since they are soft and baked well.
You can feel free to use canned or homemade cranberry sauce. I recommend the homemade kind but any kind will do. The baby spinach is for color and nutrition.

Pair this chicken with your favorite roasted vegetables and roasted potatoes and you have yourself a delicious dinner. This chicken is really no-fuss because all you have to do is cut it, stuff it and then bake it. I love that! Dinner in half an hour and minimal hands-on time is the best!
