Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 whole apple (Honeycrisp or Gala) thinly sliced
  • 4 oz brie sliced
  • 0.5 tsp salt for seasoning chicken and asparagus
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper for seasoning chicken and asparagus
  • 1 tsp dried thyme (or Italian seasoning)
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 8-10 spears asparagus
  • 2 tsp olive oil for roasting asparagus

Equipment

  • Baking Pan
  • Parchment Paper
  • Skillet or Pan
  • Small Bowl
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: Cut a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing horizontally about 3/4 of the way through one side, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  3. Step 3: Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and dried thyme (or Italian seasoning).
  4. Step 4: Sear the chicken in a hot pan with a little oil for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown to lock in juices.
  5. Step 5: Stuff each chicken breast with thin apple slices and brie. Place the stuffed breasts on the prepared baking pan.
  6. Step 6: Toss the asparagus with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper, then arrange around the chicken on the pan.
  7. Step 7: Make the glaze by mixing maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Brush the glaze all over the chicken breasts.
  8. Step 8: Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). Apples will soften, brie will melt, and glaze will caramelize slightly.
  9. Step 9: Let the chicken rest a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm with roasted asparagus.

Notes

Use toothpicks to secure pockets if worried about filling spilling out. Substitute brie with cream cheese or goat cheese for different flavors. Swap asparagus with green beans, baby carrots, or Brussels sprouts. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in oven or microwave.
