Apple and Brie Stuffed Chicken Breast with Maple Glaze Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 honeycrisp apple, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 wedge of brie cheese, sliced
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 garlic clove, minced

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, and minced garlic until fully combined. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Set your oven to 400°F (204°C) to prepare for baking the chicken later.
  3. Place the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut a slit into each breast about three-quarters of the way through, creating a pocket for the stuffing. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Once hot, carefully place the chicken breasts into the pan and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side to develop a golden-brown crust. Then remove the chicken from the pan.
  5. Open each slit and fill the pocket with thinly sliced honeycrisp apples and slices of brie cheese. If concerned about the filling spilling, secure the chicken breasts with toothpicks.
  6. Place the stuffed chicken breasts back into the skillet. Brush each breast generously with the prepared maple glaze to add sweetness and flavor.
  7. Transfer the entire cast iron skillet into the preheated oven. Bake the chicken for 20-22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring the chicken is fully cooked.
  8. Remove from the oven and serve immediately, enjoying the warm, melty brie and the combination of sweet apples with savory chicken and glaze.
