Ingredients
  

Chicken and Filling

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each, 24 oz total)
  • 1 medium Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz light Brie cheese, sliced Trader Joe’s or President brand works well

Seasoning and Glaze

  • 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 the kind with seeds

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice each breast horizontally, creating a pocket (don’t cut all the way through). Open the breasts like a book.
  • Evenly distribute the apple slices inside the chicken breasts. Top with the Brie slices. Fold the chicken back over the filling, pressing gently to secure the stuffed breasts.
  • Season both sides of the stuffed chicken with salt, pepper, and thyme.

Cooking

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in batches (2 breasts at a time) for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, creamy Dijon mustard, and whole grain Dijon mustard. Use a pastry brush to coat the tops of the chicken with the glaze.
  • Place the chicken in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked through.

Notes

Make sure to cut a deep pocket in the chicken breasts, but do not cut all the way through to prevent the filling from spilling out. Use Granny Smith apples for their tartness, which balances the richness of the Brie. If you’re short on time, you can skip the searing step and bake the chicken directly after stuffing.
