Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 honeycrisp apple sliced thin into half moons
- 4 ounces brie cheese sliced thin
- 1 cup apple cider or apple juice
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- ½ tablespoon minced garlic about 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme removed from the stems
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a broil-safe skillet.
- Slice open each chicken breast horizontally without cutting all the way through and season inside with salt and pepper.
- Place thin apple slices inside each chicken breast and layer with thin slices of brie, then fold the chicken closed.
- Put the stuffed chicken onto the baking surface and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until nearly cooked.
- While baking, combine glaze ingredients in a small skillet and simmer on medium heat until thickened and reduced by half, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Change the oven to broil, brush the glaze over the chicken, and broil for 10 to 12 minutes until the chicken reaches 165 degrees F internally, taking care not to burn the glaze.
- Serve the chicken warm with extra glaze spooned on top.
Notes
- Watch the chicken carefully during broiling to prevent burning
- aim for a light golden glaze
- Slice the brie while cold for easier, cleaner cuts
