Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium chicken breasts, about 16 ounces- boneless & skinless
  • Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 large apple or 2 medium
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 6 ounces brie cheese, sliced
  • Optional: fresh thyme, to garnish

Method
 

  1. Set your oven to heat at 400°F.
  2. Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise carefully without cutting all the way through to create a pocket.
  3. Season the chicken all over with kosher salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and olive oil.
  4. Heat an oven-safe skillet on medium-high and brown the chicken breasts about 3 minutes on each side, then remove from heat.
  5. Core and thinly slice the apple, then toss the slices in lemon juice to keep them fresh.
  6. Fill each seared chicken breast with apple slices and several slices of brie cheese, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
  7. Place the stuffed chicken into the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches 165°F internally.
  8. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh thyme if you like before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use large chicken breasts. Avoid cutting the breasts through completely to keep the filling intact. Stuff the chicken after searing slightly to prevent the brie from melting out during cooking. It’s okay to skip searing, but the chicken won’t get the same browned color. Cooking times may vary slightly based on your oven.
