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

I preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
I carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket, being sure not to cut all the way through.
I sauté the apple slices in a bit of olive oil or butter for 2–3 minutes just until slightly softened.
I stuff each chicken breast with a few slices of sautéed apple and a few slices of brie.
I secure the opening with toothpicks or kitchen twine and season the outside of the chicken with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, I whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic to make the glaze.
I place the stuffed chicken in a baking dish, pour the glaze over the top, and cover with foil.
I bake for 25 minutes, then uncover and bake another 10–15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the glaze has caramelized.
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.
