Instructions:

Prepare the Filling:
- In a nonstick frypan over medium heat, briefly sauté the red apple, green apple, celery, and green onion with poultry seasoning in 1 tablespoon of margarine until tender and fragrant.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- In a bowl, combine the bread cubes, California dried figs, pine nuts, and egg white with the sautéed mixture. Mix well to incorporate all the flavors.
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Place each chicken breast, skin side down, between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Pound them to 1/4 inch thick with a rolling pin until flattened to about 9×7 inches. Remove them from the wrap.
-
Assemble the Roll-ups:
- Form about 3/4 cup of the filling into a 6-inch-long mound along one 9-inch side of each chicken breast piece. Roll up tightly, tucking in the ends to secure the filling inside. Use toothpicks and/or string to secure the rolls, if necessary.
-
Bake the Roll-ups:
- Arrange the chicken roll-ups seam side down on a rack in an aluminum foil-lined baking pan.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining margarine and honey. Brush half of this mixture over the chicken rolls.
- Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and golden brown, brushing once with the remaining margarine-honey mixture halfway through the cooking process.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Allow the roll-ups to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Remove the toothpicks and string, then cut the roll-ups crosswise into slices. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures!
