Apple and Brie Stuffed Chicken

Apple and Brie Stuffed Chicken

Ingredients
  

  • Four 6-ounce boneless and skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 medium Granny Smith apple, sliced
  • 4-ounces light Brie cheese, sliced
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper
  • ¼ tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 tbsp. maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp. creamy Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp. whole grain Dijon mustard

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice the breasts from the side (creating a top and bottom) almost all the way through.
  • Open each breast at the slit.
  • Divide the apple slices evenly amongst the four breasts; spread across the surface of one side (leaving the other half empty to fold over the filling).
  • Top the apple slices with the Brie.
  • When all four breasts are topped on one side, fold the empty half over the filling and press down to make a stuffed breast.
  • Sprinkle each stuffed breast, on both sides, with salt, pepper and thyme.
  • In a large skillet add the oil and bring to a medium-high temperature.
  • Working in batches of two at a time so to not crowd the pan, add the stuffed chicken breasts to the pan; cook for about 1 to 2 minutes until the bottoms are seared golden.
  • Flip the breasts; cook for another minute on the other side; cook for about 1 to 2 minutes until the bottoms are seared golden.
  • Transfer the breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
  • In a small dish, stir together the maple syrup, creamy Dijon and seedy Dijon.
  • Using a pastry brush, brush the glaze over the tops of the chicken breasts.
  • Place in the pre-heated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until chicken is fully cooked through.
