📝 Instructions

12 steps
1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2

Place the bacon in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon, let it cool, and crumble it into small pieces. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease in the skillet.

3

While the bacon is cooking, finely dice the apple and mince the garlic.

4

In the same skillet with the reserved bacon grease, sauté the apples for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened. Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in the crumbled bacon. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.

5

Lay each chicken breast flat on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the thickest part of the chicken breast without cutting all the way through.

6

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.

7

Stuff each chicken breast with the apple-bacon mixture. Secure the openings with toothpicks to keep the filling in place.

8

In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

9

Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and carefully transfer it to the preheated oven.

10

Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

11

Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the stuffed chicken breasts to rest for 5 minutes.

12

Carefully remove the toothpicks from each chicken breast before serving. Serve warm with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
