Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 120 grams Brie cheese
• 1 large apple (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Slice the Brie cheese into thin pieces and set it aside.

Step 3

Core the apple, slice it thinly, and set it aside.

Step 4

Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 5

Stuff each chicken breast with a few slices of Brie and apple. Do not overstuff; ensure the edges of the chicken can still close.

Step 6

Use toothpicks to secure the edges of the chicken breasts, if needed, to prevent the stuffing from falling out during cooking.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the thyme, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly over the outside of the chicken breasts.

Step 8

Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 9

Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the pan from the heat.

Step 10

Drizzle honey over the top of the chicken breasts and add the butter to the skillet.

Step 11

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Step 12

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before removing the toothpicks (if used).

Step 13

Serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of fresh thyme, and enjoy!
