Description
Maple Glazed Apple and Brie Stuffed Chicken offers a delightful mix of sweet and savory with tender chicken breasts filled with crisp apple slices and creamy brie. This American gluten-free main course is simple to prepare yet impressively flavorful.
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 your oven to 375 degrees F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray a broil-safe skillet.
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket and season the inside with salt and pepper.
- Place thin apple slices inside each chicken pocket, then add brie slices, folding the chicken back to encase the filling.
- Arrange stuffed chicken on the baking surface and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until nearly cooked.
- While baking, combine the glaze ingredients in a small skillet over medium heat and simmer until thickened and reduced by about half, around 12 to 15 minutes.
- Switch oven to broil, brush the glaze over chicken breasts and broil for another 10 to 12 minutes until chicken reaches 165 degrees F internally, watching so glaze doesn’t burn.
- Serve the chicken with extra glaze drizzled over warm portions.
Notes
- Watch the chicken closely during broiling to ensure the glaze browns nicely without burning
- For easier slicing, cut the brie while it is cold as warmer cheese becomes sticky and hard to slice
