Apple Brie Stuffed Chicken
This apple brie stuffed chicken recipe is elegant enough for a dinner party, but still simple enough for a weeknight meal. I stuff tender chicken breasts with crisp apple slices and creamy brie cheese, sear and bake them to golden perfection, then finish with a drizzle of maple glaze for a touch of sweetness. This apple stuffed chicken breast is comfort food with a gourmet twist, made in just a little over an hour!
If you can’t tell by now, I love a good stuffed chicken recipe. But with the colder months, I knew I wanted to make something that felt fresh and cozy. This brie and apple stuffed chicken is the perfect fusion of sweet and savory flavors.
Layered with thin-sliced Honeycrisp apples and creamy brie cheese, I season this stuffed chicken with salt, pepper, thyme, and garlic. Searing the chicken briefly in a hot skillet before baking helps lock in the juices and gives the outside a lovely golden color. After baking, I coat the chicken with a maple glaze, made with Dijon mustard and a splash of apple cider vinegar to elevate the dish with a perfect balance of sweet and tangy notes. Serve with roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete, crowd-pleasing meal.
