Description

This Maple Mustard Glazed Chicken Breast Stuffed with Brie & Apple is a deliciously elegant dish perfect for fall dinners.

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken.
Prepare Chicken Pockets: Carefully slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, making sure not to cut all the way through. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper to taste.
Stuff Chicken: Stuff each chicken breast pocket with several slices of brie cheese and thin apple slices, distributing them evenly inside.
Make Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, maple syrup, whole grain mustard, and garlic powder until smooth and combined.
Sear Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2–3 minutes on each side, until they develop a golden-brown crust.
Glaze and Bake: Brush the prepared mustard-maple glaze generously over the seared chicken breasts. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Rest and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes to retain juices. Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley if desired before serving.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, add chopped fresh rosemary or thyme to the glaze.
