Apple and Brie Stuffed Pan-fried Chicken

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

To prepare the stuffed chicken, use a sharp knife to cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through.

Stuff each chicken breast with sliced apples and slices of brie cheese. Season the outside of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.

While the chicken is baking, prepare the sweet Asian chili sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and honey. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the saucepan with the sweet chili sauce mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve the stuffed chicken with the sweet Asian chili sauce drizzled on top.

This dish pairs well with steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables. Enjoy!
