["If you haven't already pounded your chicken breast halves, do so now- they should be 1/4"" thin; season with salt and pepper to taste on both sides. Peel your apples unless you prefer them to have the skin on.", "Combine apple chunks,cheese, and bread crumbs in a small bowl.", "Divide the apple mixture into two portions and place one portion on top of each piece of chicken.", "Roll up chicken into a bundle, using toothpicks to secure if needed.", "Melt butter in a skillet, then brown the chicken briefly on both sides in the butter- just a few minutes each side to brown but not cook all the way through yet.", "Once browned, add wine and 1/4 cup of water.", "Cover pan and let simmer 15-20 minutes on medium-low heat- until chicken is no longer pink and completely cooked through.", "Remove cooked chicken from the pan using a slotted spoon and set on two plates.", "Remove toothpicks.", "Whisk together 1 Tbsp of water and the cornstarch well and add to the pan juices.", "Whisk until blended and cook and stir until thickened slightly (you may need to raise the heat a bit); test for seasoning and add more salt and pepper if needed.", "Ladle over chicken and sprinkle parsley over tops as a garnish."]
