Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 120 grams Brie cheese, rind removed and sliced
• 2 pieces ripe peaches, peeled and finely diced
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 cup chicken broth
• 0.25 cup white wine (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the thickest part of each chicken breast, ensuring you don't slice all the way through.

Step 3

Season the inside and outside of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Step 4

In a small bowl, combine the diced peaches, sliced Brie cheese, and fresh thyme leaves. Mix gently until evenly combined.

Step 5

Stuff each chicken breast with the peach and Brie mixture, ensuring not to overfill. Secure the opening with toothpicks to keep the stuffing in place while cooking.

Step 6

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Sear each chicken breast for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

While the chicken is baking, prepare the glaze by combining honey, chicken broth, and white wine (if using) in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly reduced and glossy.

Step 10

Once the chicken is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before removing the toothpicks.

Step 11

Drizzle the peach glaze over the stuffed chicken breasts and serve immediately. Enjoy with a side of roasted vegetables or wild rice for a complete meal.
