CHICKEN BREAST CALVADOS 
1 lg. (about 1/2 lb.) Golden Delicious or Newtown Pippin apple
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 c. apple brandy, Brandy, or apple juice
2 boned & skinned chicken breast halves, (about 3/4 lb. total)
2 slices (about 1 oz. each) Havarti cheese
Minced parsley

Peel, core, and thinly slice apple. Divide between 2 shallow ovenproof Ramekins (1 1/2 to 2 cup size) the apple slices, brandy, and half the nutmeg. Cover Ramekins tightly with foil. Bake apples in a 400 degree oven until tender when pierced, about 20 minutes. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Put one breast half in each dish, basting surface of chicken with juices, then sprinkle with remaining nutmeg. Bake, uncovered, until chicken is no longer pink in center of thickest part (cut to test), about 12 minutes. Top chicken with cheese. Broil 6 inches from heat until cheese is bubbling, about 2 minutes longer. Sprinkle with parsley.

 Thomas Green (British Columbia) says:
This recipe is great, very tasty, pleasing to the eye, the only thing i dont like about it, in the method, cut to test, for presentations sake, never cut open a piece of meat. always poke it with your finger/tongs, if it springs back at you, it is cooked through, if it feels spongy, cook it more
