Prepare the glaze by whisking together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast.
Stuff each chicken breast with sliced apples and brie. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of olive oil. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Brush the chicken with the prepared glaze and transfer the skillet to the oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle with additional glaze if desired.
Notes
For a crispier finish, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
If you don't have a cast iron skillet, sear the chicken in a pan and then transfer to a baking dish for oven cooking.
Adjust the amount of maple syrup and Dijon mustard in the glaze according to your taste preferences.
The chicken can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to cook. This is perfect for meal planning or preparing for guests.
