– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

4. 4. Season the stuffed chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
5. 5. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
6. 6. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side to create a golden-brown crust.
7. 7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
8. 8. Serve the Apple and Brie Stuffed Chicken Breast immediately, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.
Notes
– For a creamier filling, mix the brie with a tablespoon of softened cream cheese before stuffing.
– Try using a different type of cheese, such as goat cheese or cheddar, for a variation.
– Experiment with different apple varieties to find your favorite flavor pairing.
