Equipment
- Cast Iron Skillet Ideal for searing and oven baking.
- Meat Thermometer To check the internal temperature of the chicken.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 each boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 each honeycrisp apple, cored and thinly sliced
- 1 wedge brie cheese, sliced
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, mix together the maple syrup, dijon mustard, dried thyme, and minced garlic to create a delicious glaze. Set it aside for later.
- Lay the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board. Make a slit about 3/4 of the way through each breast and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and stuff each breast with sliced apples and brie cheese. If needed, secure the chicken with toothpicks to keep the filling inside.
- Brush the stuffed chicken breasts with the maple glaze, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-22 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- If you desire a caramelized finish, broil the chicken for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
- Serve the apple brie stuffed chicken with maple glaze immediately for a warm, comforting meal.
Notes
