Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt (Adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper (Freshly ground, adjust to taste)

For the Stuffing:

  • 2 medium Honeycrisp apples (Can substitute with Fuji apples)
  • 8 ounces Brie cheese (Slice cold for easier handling)

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup Apple cider or juice (Unsweetened preferred)
  • 1/2 cup Pure maple syrup (High-quality for best flavor)
  • 2 cloves Minced garlic (Freshly minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (Dried thyme can be used)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Extra salt for glaze (Adjust for flavor enhancement)

Instructions

  1. Preparation Steps: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking the stuffed chicken.
  2. Butterfly the Chicken: Carefully butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them horizontally almost through, then open them like a book. Season the inside of each breast with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavor.
  3. Stuff the Chicken: Layer thin slices of Honeycrisp apples and cold Brie cheese inside the butterflied chicken breasts. Fold the breasts closed to enclose the filling securely.
  4. Bake the Chicken: Arrange the stuffed chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until they are nearly cooked through but not fully done yet.
  5. Prepare the Maple Glaze: While the chicken bakes, combine apple cider or juice, pure maple syrup, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, fresh thyme, and extra salt in a skillet over medium heat. Simmer the mixture for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a syrupy glaze.
  6. Broil with Glaze: After baking, brush the thickened maple glaze generously over the stuffed chicken breasts. Place them under the broiler for 10-12 minutes until the glaze caramelizes and the chicken finishes cooking, ensuring a beautifully browned finish.
  7. Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Drizzle any remaining maple glaze over the top before serving to enhance the flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use cold Brie cheese for easier slicing and stuffing.
  • Honeycrisp apples provide a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, but Fuji apples are an excellent substitute.
  • Adjust salt levels in seasoning and glaze according to your taste preferences.
  • Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  • The glaze can be made ahead and reheated when needed for convenience.
  • Serve with roasted vegetables or a green salad for a complete meal.
