Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 8 oz creamy brie cheese, cubed
- 2 medium Granny Smith apples, diced
- 2 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for searing)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Balsamic vinegar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the diced apples and thyme until softened (about 5 minutes).
- Remove from heat and mix in the cubed brie cheese and honey until well combined.
- Carefully cut pockets into each chicken breast without slicing through completely, then stuff generously with the apple-brie mixture.
- Heat some olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each stuffed chicken breast for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
