Maple Glazed Apple and Brie Stuffed Chicken Delight

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this dish because it’s unexpected yet easy to make. The creamy brie melts inside the juicy chicken, while the apples add a natural sweetness and just a touch of crunch. The maple glaze caramelizes in the oven, creating a gorgeous golden finish. It’s a meal that feels fancy but is easy enough to prepare on a weeknight. I also love how well it pairs with seasonal sides like roasted veggies, wild rice, or a crisp salad.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • Brie cheese (sliced)

  • Apple (thinly sliced, Honeycrisp or Granny Smith work great)

  • Olive oil or butter

  • Maple syrup (pure)

  • Dijon mustard

  • Garlic (minced)

  • Salt and pepper

  • Fresh thyme or rosemary (optional, for garnish)

Directions

  1. I preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. I carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket, being sure not to cut all the way through.

  3. I sauté the apple slices in a bit of olive oil or butter for 2–3 minutes just until slightly softened.

  4. I stuff each chicken breast with a few slices of sautéed apple and a few slices of brie.

  5. I secure the opening with toothpicks or kitchen twine and season the outside of the chicken with salt and pepper.

  6. In a small bowl, I whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic to make the glaze.

  7. I place the stuffed chicken in a baking dish, pour the glaze over the top, and cover with foil.

  8. I bake for 25 minutes, then uncover and bake another 10–15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze has caramelized.

  9. I garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Variations

  • I use pears instead of apples for a slightly different fruit profile.

  • I add chopped pecans or walnuts to the stuffing for crunch.

  • I swap brie with camembert or goat cheese for a tangier flavor.

  • I wrap the stuffed chicken in prosciutto before baking for extra saltiness.

  • I reduce leftover glaze on the stovetop to drizzle over vegetables or rice on the side.

storage/reheating

I store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I cover the chicken loosely with foil and bake at 350°F until warmed through. Brie can get very soft when reheated, but the flavor stays rich and delicious. I avoid microwaving if I want the texture to stay intact.

FAQs

Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?

Yes. I often stuff and glaze the chicken earlier in the day, then refrigerate it until I’m ready to bake. It’s a great prep-ahead option for guests.

What type of apples should I use?

I like using firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith. They hold up well during baking and add a nice contrast to the creamy brie.

Is this dish sweet?

It has a natural sweetness from the maple syrup and apples, but the Dijon mustard and garlic balance it out. I find it more savory than dessert-like.

Can I cook this in a skillet instead of the oven?

This dish is best baked so the glaze can reduce and the cheese melt evenly, but I’ve finished it in a skillet after browning both sides of the chicken for a quicker version.

What side dishes go well with this?

I usually serve it with roasted Brussels sprouts, mashed cauliflower, wild rice, or even a spinach salad with a vinaigrette to cut the richness.
