1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
Directions
1.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with foil to prevent sticking.
2.
Cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast carefully with a sharp knife, ensuring not to cut through.

Season the inside and outside of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and thyme for added flavor.
4.
Fill each chicken breast pocket with sliced apples and brie cheese, pressing edges together after stuffing.
5.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear stuffed chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides.
6.
Transfer chicken to the prepared baking dish and bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.
7.
Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving to let juices redistribute for a juicier result.
