Chicken breasts stuffed with peaches, cheese and garlic are a variation on everyday chicken dishes that brings together savory and sweet flavors. Cut a pocket into each breast and fill it with canned peaches or apricots and a mixture of grated cheese, sour cream and crushed garlic. Secure the edges with toothpicks and bake for about 40 minutes at 180 °C (350 °F). Do not overfill the breasts, or the filling may leak out during baking.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Gather the chicken breasts, peaches, cheese, garlic and sour cream.
Trim any membranes from the chicken breasts and slice them lengthwise, leaving them attached along one side. Place apricot or peach halves inside the chicken; three halves in total will be enough. Season with salt and black pepper.
In a bowl, mix the sour cream with the grated cheese and crushed garlic, then stuff the chicken with this filling. Do not overfill, or the filling will leak out during baking.
Secure the chicken with toothpicks to keep it closed during baking and allow the filling and fruit to cook through.
Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with Parmesan if desired. Place on an oiled baking sheet and bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for about 40 minutes.
Serve the baked chicken with cooked rice or mashed potatoes. An arugula and tomato salad also pairs well with it.

Tip: Drain the canned peaches thoroughly in a strainer; the sweet syrup would thin the filling and burn on the baking sheet.
