Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 150 grams brie cheese
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a horizontal pocket into the thickest side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Cut the brie cheese into four equal portions and stuff each chicken breast pocket with a piece of brie and a pinch of fresh thyme leaves.
Secure the opening of each chicken breast with toothpicks to prevent the cheese from oozing out during cooking.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter has melted and starts to bubble slightly.
Place the chicken breasts into the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake the chicken for 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is baking, prepare the maple glaze. In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and water. Stir well.
Bring the mixture to a light simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly (about 5 minutes). Remove the glaze from heat.
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and brush each piece generously with the maple glaze.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top if desired and garnish with additional thyme. Serve warm.
