Stuffed Amaretto Glazed Chicken Breasts
- 6 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast Halves
- 3 cups Prepared Homemade Bread Stuffing (or Sub One 6 Ounce Package Chicken Flavored Stuffing Mix, Prepared According To Package Instructions And Cooled)
- 1 cup Slivered Almonds, Toasted
- 3 Tablespoons Butter, Melted, Or More If Needed
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 3/4 cups All-fruit, Low Sugar Or Sugar Free Peach Preserves
- 3/4 cups All-fruit, Low Sugar Or Sugar Free Orange Marmalade
- 1/2 cups Amaretto Liqueur
- Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
- Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound down to 1/4 thickness.
- Stir the toasted almonds into the prepared and cooled stuffing.
- Divide the stuffing between each chicken breast, spreading it out across the surface and pressing it down to adhere to the chicken.
- Starting from the wide end, roll up each chicken breast, tucking in the sides.
- Place the rolls seam side down on the prepared pan.
- Brush each roll generously with melted butter
- In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, paprika and cinnamon; mix well.
- Sprinkle the spice mixture over each chicken breast.
- Bake at 400 F for 20 minutes.
- For the sauce, combine the peach preserves, orange marmalade and Amaretto in a small saucepan.
- Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and cook over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes or until the preserves are melted and well combined, stirring occasionally.
- Remove chicken from the oven after it has cooked for 20 minutes.
- Reduce oven heat to 350 F.
- Spoon the amaretto sauce evenly over each chicken breast, using all the sauce in the pan.
- Return the chicken to the oven and bake at 350 F for 15-20 minutes more or until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear.
- Brush the top of each piece of chicken with some of the leftover glaze in the bottom of the baking pan.
- Serve immediately.
- Note: Reserve any sauce thats in the bottom of the pan to serve on the side, if desired.
- Its also great to have for any leftover chicken breasts.
- I brush a little of the sauce over the chicken before reheating it in the microwave.
