Gouda-Stuffed Chicken

My brother gave me the recipe for this hearty dish we often serve at family gatherings. Men, especially, seem to enjoy it, and it's become one of our special favorites. —Mary Ann Dell, Phoenixville, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
2 ounces smoked Gouda cheese, cut into thin pieces
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons canola oil, divided
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup apple cider or unsweetened apple juice
2 large tart apples, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon honey

Directions

Cut a slit lengthwise through the thickest part of each chicken
breast; fill with cheese. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt
and pepper. Dip chicken in flour mixture on both sides; shake off
excess.
In a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray, cook chicken
in 1-1/2 teaspoons oil over medium heat for 8-10 minutes on each
side or until juices run clear. Remove and keep warm.
In the same skillet, saute garlic in remaining oil for 30 seconds.
Add broth and cider, stirring to loosen browned bits. Bring to a
boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 12-14 minutes or until
mixture is reduced to about 1 cup.
Stir in apples and honey; return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer,
