1 tbs. butter
1/2 cup diced onion
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and shredded
1 tbs. plain bread crumbs
1 tbs. honey
1/4 tsp. pumpkin-pie spice
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
Pinch of thyme
4 bone-in chicken-breast halves

Pull skin up (but not off) chicken breasts. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Divide apple mixture among chicken pieces, tucking stuffing under skin. Told skin back over apple filling and breasts and secure in place with a toothpick.
