My regular dinner plans changed completely when I found this amazing apple and brie stuffed chicken. The mix of apple sweetness, smooth brie cheese, and the zingy maple-dijon topping makes a fancy-looking meal that's surprisingly easy to whip up at home.

I came up with this dish while trying to use up brie that was left after a get-together. My hubby, who usually thinks chicken is dull, asked for it three times the next week. Now we make it whenever we want something special without spending forever cooking.

I got the idea for this dish from French cooking but made it perfect during a trip picking apples in fall. We had tons of fresh Granny Smiths, and I found out their sourness works great with the creamy brie. Nowadays, when it's cooking and I smell it, I'm taken back to cool fall evenings.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I swap Brie with another cheese?

Sure! Soft cheeses like Fontina or Camembert work wonderfully too, with a similar creamy texture and taste.

→ Which apples are the best fit?

Granny Smith apples are a great pick. They stay firm and add just the right touch of tart flavor during cooking.

→ Could I prep this earlier in the day?

Absolutely! You can stuff the chicken and make the glaze in advance. Store each separately in the fridge and bake when ready.

→ What should I serve alongside this dish?

It pairs perfectly with mashed potatoes, a roasted veggie mix, or even a green salad to round out the meal.

→ How do I know when it’s cooked through?

Using a meat thermometer is easiest. Aim for 165°F (74°C) in the thickest section of the chicken.

Ingredients

→ Filling and Chicken

01 1 medium Granny Smith apple, sliced thin
02 4 pieces of boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 oz each, total 24 oz)
03 4 oz of light Brie cheese, cut into slices

→ Spices

04 ¼ tsp of ground black pepper
05 ½ tsp of salt
06 ¼ tsp of dried thyme leaves

→ Sauce

07 1 tbsp of Dijon mustard (creamy)
08 1 tsp of Dijon mustard (whole grain)
09 1 tbsp of real maple syrup
10 1 tbsp of olive oil

Instructions

Step 01

Turn your oven on to 400°F (200°C) and let it preheat. Grab a baking sheet and place a sheet of parchment paper on it, then set it aside.

Step 02

Lay your chicken breasts on a flat surface like a cutting board. Carefully cut each breast sideways with a sharp knife to create a pocket, but don't slice all the way through. Open them gently, like a book.

Step 03

Take the apple slices and arrange them inside the chicken pockets. Put the Brie slices on top of the apple. Close the chicken over the filling and press lightly to seal it together.

Step 04

Lightly sprinkle salt, pepper, and thyme on both sides of the stuffed chicken.

Step 05

Place a skillet on the stove over medium-high heat and pour in some olive oil. Cook two chicken breasts at a time for 1-2 minutes on each side until they’re golden. Move them from the pan to the baking sheet you prepared earlier.

Step 06

Combine the maple syrup, creamy Dijon mustard, and whole grain mustard in a small bowl. Use a pastry brush to coat the top of the chicken with this mixture.

Step 07

Put the baking sheet with the chicken into the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
