Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet or a broiler-safe skillet by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
  2. Butterfly each boneless chicken breast by slicing horizontally, ensuring you cut only halfway through. Season the chicken generously inside and out with kosher salt and black pepper.
  3. Layer thinly sliced Honeycrisp apples and creamy brie cheese inside each butterflied chicken breast.
  4. Close up the stuffed chicken breasts and place them in the prepared dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is nearly cooked through.
  5. Combine apple cider, pure maple syrup, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and fresh thyme in a small skillet over medium heat. Allow to simmer gently for about 12-15 minutes until it reduces by half.
  6. After baking, switch your oven to broil. Brush the warm maple glaze over the stuffed chicken and broil for 10-12 minutes.
  7. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve warm with remaining glaze drizzled on top.
