Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups of mixed apples, diced (Granny Smith and Honeycrisp recommended)
8 oz Brie cheese, cut into small pieces
1 cup baby spinach leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Toothpicks or kitchen twine

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Step 3: In a bowl, combine the diced apples, Brie cheese, and baby spinach. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and thyme. Mix until well combined.
Step 4: Carefully fill each chicken breast pocket with the apple and Brie mixture, using your fingers to gently push the filling inside.
Step 5: Secure the edges of the chicken breasts with toothpicks or kitchen twine to keep the filling inside.
Step 6: Brush the outside of the chicken breasts with olive oil. Season with additional salt, pepper, and dried thyme for extra flavor.
Step 7: Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 8: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Step 9: Remove the toothpicks or twine, then slice the chicken to reveal the delicious stuffing before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use a mix of sweet and tart apples like Honeycrisp and Granny Smith to balance the flavors.
If Brie isn’t available, try using Camembert or a creamy goat cheese as a substitute.
For added crunch, sprinkle chopped walnuts or pecans into the filling mixture.
Serve with a light salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Storage

Store any leftover stuffed chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven at 325°F (160°C) until warmed through, or microwave on medium power in short intervals to keep the filling creamy and delicious.
