INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 220C/450F/Gas 7.
1 For the Stuffing: Heat a frying pan. Finely dice the onion and
celery. Add a little oil and 25g/1oz butter to the heated frying pan,
and saute the onion and celery for 2-3 minutes until softened but not
coloured.
2 Remove the crusts from the bread and whizz the remainder in a mini
blender to fine breadcrumbs - you'll need 85g/3oz in total. Finely
chop 1 heaped tbsp herbs and the walnuts.
3 Heat a small saute pan with a metal handle. Remove the onion
mixture from the heat and stir in the breadcrumbs, herbs and walnuts.
Season generously.
4 Loosen the skin covering each chicken breast and push in as much
stuffing as will fit between the skin and flesh. Gently reform the
skin over the stuffing and chicken.
5 Add a little oil and a knob of butter to the heated saute pan and
add the chicken, skin-side down.
6 Cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden and just sealed, turn
over and put in the oven. Cook for 10-12 minutes until cooked through
and golden brown.
7 Cut the apples in half and hollow each half out to a shell, using a
melon baller so each one is no more than 1cm/ 1/2" thick.
8 Squeeze over a little lemon juice to prevent them going brown.
Season generously and drizzle a little oil over each one.
9 Pile in the remaining stuffing mixture into the apple halves. Place
around the chicken supremes and bake for about 10 minutes or until
just tender and cooked through.
10 For the Watercress Sabayon: Add the wine to the heated pan and
bubble down. Pour in the chicken stock and simmer until reduced to no
more than three tablespoons. Pour into a bowl and set in a bowl of
iced water to cool down quickly.
11 Remove any tough stalks from the watercress and cut into fine
strands (chiffonade).
12 Separate the eggs and put the yolks in a heatproof bowl set over a
pan of gently simmering water.
13 Whisk in the reduced cooking liquid and whisk for about five
minutes until thickened but still light and fluffy. Place the cream
in a bowl and whip until you have achieved soft peaks.
14 Dice the remaining 50g/2oz butter and whisk into the sauce, a few
cubes at a time to make a thick, foamy sauce. Stir in the watercress,
season to taste and finally fold in the whipped cream.
15 Remove the chicken from the oven and carve one of the chicken
supremes on the diagonal. Fan out on to the middle of a serving plate.
16 Arrange two stuffed apples to the side and drizzle around some
watercress sabayon. Serve at once.

A Message from our Provider:

“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”
