Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Wash the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
- Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board. Lightly press each chicken breast flat with one hand; use a sharp knife to cut a slit horizontally along one edge of the breast, cutting nearly to the opposite side but not all the way through. Open it so it forms two flaps, attached at the center, like a butterfly. Set aside - keep refrigerated.
- To a small mixing bowl, add the diced apple, lemon juice, lemon zest, sage, 3 tablespoons of bread crumbs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Stuff each breast with about a quarter of the apple mixture and 1 slice of Brie; close the flap, press it down firmly, and set the chicken aside.
- Transfer the stuffed chicken breasts to a baking sheet. (There is no need to seal them around the edges.) Sprinkle the breasts with salt and pepper.
- Combine the remaining bread crumbs, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste in a shallow dish. Lightly beat the egg with a fork in another dish.
- One at a time, hold the chicken breast together and dip in the beaten egg - coat on both sides. Dredge in the bread crumb mixture, turning it over to coat well. Repeat until done.
- Next, drizzle 2 teaspoons of olive oil into a large heavy-bottom skillet; set over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts; brown on each side (about 2 - 3 minutes per side).
- Transfer the chicken breasts to a large casserole dish; add 1/2 cup of the apple cider/juice, the chicken broth, and the thyme sprigs. Place in the oven and bake for 15 - 20 minutes, or until no longer pink inside.
- While the chicken is baking, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté for about 15 - 20 minutes, stirring often. Cook until they turn deep golden brown. To the onions add the garlic, sliced apples, cinnamon and wine and cook for about 5 more minutes, or until the liquid evaporates. Cover and keep warm.
- Transfeer the chicken to a warmed serving platter; cover with foil to keep warm.
- Whisk together the remaining apple cider/juice, the mustard, and the cinnamon; bring to a boil in a small sauce pan on high heat for 3 minutes until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened.
- Spoon the carmelized onions and cinnamon apples, followed by the sauce over the chicken. Serve immediately.

APPLE, CURRANT, AND CARAWAY STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
Steps:
- Make stuffing:
- Peel and core apple and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Melt butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté caraway seeds, stirring, 1 minute. Add onion and sauté, stirring, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add apple and celery and sauté, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in remaining stuffing ingredients. Cool stuffing completely.
- Stuff chicken:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Pat chicken dry and arrange, skinned sides down, on a work surface. Remove tender (fillet strip on side where breast bone was) from each breast half if attached and reserve for another use.
- Cut a pocket in each breast half:
- Beginning at center of thicker end of breast, insert a small knife horizontally, stopping about 1 inch from opposite end. Open incision with your fingers to create a 1-inch-wide pocket. Pack one sixth of stuffing into each pocket.
- Cook chicken:
- Pat chicken dry and season with salt. Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then brown chicken in 2 batches, about 2 minutes on each side, transferring to a small roasting pan as browned (reserve skillet).
- Roast chicken in middle of oven until just cooked through, 14 to 16 minutes.
- While chicken is roasting, stir flour into fat remaining in skillet and cook roux over moderately low heat, stirring, 1 minute. Whisk in cider and broth and bring to a boil, whisking, then boil, whisking occasionally, until thickened and reduced to about 1 cup, about 8 minutes.
- Let chicken stand 5 minutes, then cut each breast half diagonally into thirds. Add any juices from roasting pan and salt and pepper to taste to sauce and spoon over chicken.

- 4. Firmly pound the chicken with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch.

- 7. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice all over the outside of the chicken breast and place into the prepared glass baking dish.
- 8. Bake the chicken breasts, uncovered, in the preheated oven until they are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear which takes about 25 to 30 minutes.
- 9. When the chicken is almost done, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- 10. Whisk in the flour to make a smooth paste.

Tips:
- To ensure the chicken breasts are evenly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before removing from the oven.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check if the chicken is cooked by making a small incision in the center of the breast. If the juices run clear, the chicken is cooked.
- To prevent the chicken breasts from drying out, baste them with the melted butter mixture every 15-20 minutes while they are baking.
- If you are using a baking dish that is not ovenproof, you can transfer the chicken breasts to a baking sheet before baking.
- You can also cook the chicken breasts in a skillet over medium heat for 10-12 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
Conclusion:
Apple-stuffed chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of tender chicken, sweet apples, and savory stuffing is sure to please everyone at the table.
