Apple & Brie Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Serves 4–6

You'll Need
  • 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • ½ sweet onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped Honey Crisp apple
  • 250g Brie cheese, cut into matchsticks
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts, toasted
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 200 g thinly sliced prosciutto
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Prep and Cook
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Heat vegetable oil and melt butter in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add onion and garlic and cook until softened.
  • Add chopped apple to the skillet and continue cooking until apples are tender.
  • Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Flatten chicken breasts between sheets of waxed paper to ¼ inch thickness.
  • Divide apple mixture, Brie and walnuts along the end of each chicken breast and then tightly roll up each breast.
  • Lie each of the rolled chicken breasts on top of prosciutto slices and secure with toothpicks or skewers.
  • In the same skillet, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Add the rolled chicken breasts to the pan and lightly sear until prosciutto is browned.
  • If using an oven-safe skillet, transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for an additional 15 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Otherwise, continue to cook in a small baking dish or pan. Do not overcook.
  • Remove from the oven, slice into medallions and serve immediately with your favourite fall side dishes.

Good to know: Stuffed chicken breasts can be prepared several hours ahead of time or even the night before, wrapped in plastic and refrigerated until needed. Look for flattened chicken breasts in your grocery store meat department. Substitute Brie cheese with Blue or Goat and walnuts for pecans.
