Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Stuffing
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 small apple (such as Granny Smith), thinly sliced
- 4 oz brie cheese, sliced
Glaze and Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Toothpicks or kitchen twine for securing
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Chicken: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast without slicing all the way through to create space for the stuffing.
- Season Chicken: Season the chicken breasts inside and out with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to enhance flavor.
- Stuff Chicken: Fill each chicken pocket with several slices of apple and brie cheese. Secure the opening with toothpicks or kitchen twine to keep the filling inside while cooking.
- Make Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and olive oil until smooth and well combined.
- Apply Glaze and Bake: Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a greased baking dish. Brush them generously with the maple mustard glaze. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Halfway through cooking, baste the chicken with more glaze to deepen the flavor.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispy chicken, sear the stuffed breasts in a hot skillet for 2–3 minutes per side before baking.
- Swap apples with pears for a different fruity twist.
