Ingredients
  

Main ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each) Choosing fresh, high-quality chicken is key. You can go for organic if you’re feeling fancy!
  • 1 medium Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced These apples are tart, adding the perfect zing that balances the creaminess of the Brie.
  • 4 oz light Brie cheese, sliced Go for brands like Trader Joe’s or President! And, oops, remember, Brie typically has a creamy rind—don’t be afraid of it!

Seasonings

  • ½ tsp salt Essential for enhancing all the flavors.
  • ¼ tsp black pepper Just a dash for a little kick!
  • ¼ tsp dried thyme A hint of herbal goodness that ties everything together.

Cooking essentials

  • 1 tbsp olive oil For that nice golden sear.
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup The magic ingredient! A splash of sweetness to brighten up the dish.
  • 1 tbsp creamy Dijon mustard For a smooth, tangy flavor that’s just divine.
  • 1 tsp whole grain Dijon mustard Adds texture and a bit of flair with those lovely seeds.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using a sharp knife, slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket. Don’t cut all the way through; think of it as opening a book.
  • Place apple slices and Brie inside the pocket, then fold the chicken back over.
  • Season both sides of the chicken with salt, pepper, and thyme.

Cooking

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Transfer seared chicken to the lined baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, creamy Dijon mustard, and whole grain Dijon mustard. Coat the tops of the chicken.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through.

Notes

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after pulling it from the oven for juiciness. Adjust glaze sweetness to your preference. Leftovers can be stored for 3-4 days in an airtight container.
