It’s an elegant yet simple dish perfect for a cozy dinner or special occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Stuffed Chicken:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 honeycrisp apple, cored and sliced thin
  • 1 wedge of brie cheese, sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Maple Glaze:

  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ¼ tsp dried thyme
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Using a sharp knife, carefully make a horizontal slit along the side of each chicken breast to create a pocket without cutting all the way through.
  2. Stuff the Chicken: Season the inside and outside of each chicken breast with salt and pepper. Place thin apple slices and brie cheese inside the pocket of each breast, distributing evenly.
  3. Make the Maple Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, and minced garlic until well combined.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil to prevent sticking. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
  5. Glaze the Chicken: During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the maple glaze over the chicken breasts, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
  6. Serve: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice if desired and serve warm, spooning any extra glaze from the pan over the top.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife and be careful when creating the pocket in the chicken breast to avoid cutting through completely.
  • Honeycrisp apples are recommended for their sweet-tart flavor and crisp texture that complements the creamy brie.
  • If brie rind is not preferred, the cheese can be gently peeled before slicing.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding fresh thyme or rosemary while cooking.
  • Leftover glaze can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
