Step-by-Step Stuffed Chicken Recipe

1. How to Make Stuffed Chicken Breast

Slice a deep pocket into the side of each chicken breast—go about ¾ of the way through. Pat the chicken dry so it browns properly.

2. What Cheese Goes Well with Chicken and Apples? (It’s Brie)

In a bowl, combine chopped apples, cubed Brie, baby spinach, and all the seasonings. Brie is ideal—it melts beautifully and complements the apples perfectly.

3. How to Secure Stuffed Chicken Without Leaks

Stuff the filling into each chicken breast. Use toothpicks or twine to close it up. Don’t skip this—can you stuff chicken with Brie? Yes, but only if you keep that gooey goodness inside.

4. Baked Chicken with Seasonal Fruit and Creamy Cheese

Brush the outside with olive oil. Season well. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30–35 minutes until the internal chicken breast cooking temperature hits 165°F.

5. Melt-in-Mouth Stuffed Chicken: Resting and Serving

Let the chicken rest 5 minutes. Then remove toothpicks or twine, slice, and enjoy that gorgeous apple chicken with creamy cheese filling.
