2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking dish.
Carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create pockets and season with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, mix together the diced apples, brie cheese, and thyme leaves.
Stuff each chicken pocket generously with the apple-brie mixture and secure with toothpicks if needed.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the stuffed chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
