The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

ingredients
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 small tart apple, peeled and diced
1 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 shallot, diced
3/4 cup chicken stock
directions
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Cook the diced apple until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. In a small bowl, mix the cooked apple, cranberries, shallots and a splash of the chicken stock and set aside.
Cut a deep horizontal pocket in the side of each chicken breast. Make the pocket as large as you can without piercing the top or bottom of the breast. Place 1/4 of the apple-cranberry mixture in the pocket of each chicken breast. Secure the pocket with wood toothpicks threading along the side to close.
Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a heavy oven-proof skillet until it begins to smoke. Cook each side of the chicken until golden brown. Add the vinegar and remaining chicken stock and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and gently simmer the chicken for 2 or 3 minutes per side, until cooked through. Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and keep warm. Continue to cook the sauce until it is reduced to a thick syrup. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the sauce over each chicken breast to serve.

Very good. Made this for some family that came over for dinner. One guest described it best "its Thanksgiving all in one just without the turkey".
