This easy Apple and Brie Stuffed Chicken Breast recipe features tender chicken breasts filled with fresh apple and creamy brie cheese. It’s a delicious, simple meal perfect for weeknight dinners that everyone will enjoy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium chicken breasts about 16 ounces boneless & skinless
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 large apple or 2 medium
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 6 ounces brie cheese sliced
  • fresh thyme to garnish

Instructions

  1. Warm your oven to 400°F.
  2. Slice each chicken breast lengthwise but not all the way through so you can fill them.
  3. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper along with onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and olive oil.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium-high and cook the chicken about 3 minutes on each side until lightly browned, then remove it from the heat.
  5. While the chicken rests, core and thinly slice the apple, then toss the slices with lemon juice to keep them fresh.
  6. Stuff each chicken breast with apple slices and brie cheese, securing with toothpicks if needed.
  7. Transfer the stuffed chicken to the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the internal temperature hits 165°F.
  8. Optionally, finish by garnishing with fresh thyme before serving.

Notes

  • It is best to use large chicken breasts for this recipe and not chicken thighs
  • Careful not to slice the chicken breasts all the way through
  • You stuff the chicken breasts after searing them a bit, otherwise the brie all melts out into the pan
  • It is possible to skip searing the chicken breasts
  • I know some of you would rather skip this step and stuff the chicken breasts and bake
  • That’s fine, you won’t get that nice browned color
  • If searing the chicken breast a bit as I did, try not to cook it thoroughly so you can open it up to stuff it
  • Ovens vary
  • the chicken may only need about 18-20 minutes to cook fully
