Best Brie And Caramelized Onion Stuffed Chicken Breasts Recipes

APPLE & BRIE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS

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.

BRIE-STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Heat 1/2 tablespoons oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until well carmaelized. Remove from pan and let cool. Measure out 1/2 cup cooked onions and finely chop; set aside for sauce.
• Combine cheese, remaining cooled onions and 1/2 tablespoons thyme; season lightly and mix well.
• Preheat oven to 375°F Lay chicken breasts, smooth side down, on a cutting board. Cut a pocket in each breast with a sharp knife. Divide cheese and onion filling evenly between pockets. Cover with chicken filet.
• Heat remaining oil in same sauté pan over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and peper and sear until golden and brown, 1-2 minutes per side. Place in a roasting pan and cook 20-25 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes.
• Return skillet to medium-high heat; pour maple syrup in pan to deglaze. Stir in broth, reserved caramelized onions and remaining thyme. Bring to a boil and reduce by half. Remove pan from heat, add any juices from the resting chicken and swirl in cold butter. Serve chicken breasts with maple sauce.

CHICKEN WITH BRIE AND CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large skillet; cook and stir the onion in the butter until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Stir in the sugar and cook until the sugar completely melts, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely.
• Mix together the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Whisk together the egg and water in a small bowl. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour; shake off the excess flour and then dip the chicken in the egg and water mixture.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook the chicken in the hot oil until completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
• Place 2 of the chicken breast halves in the bottom of a baking dish. Top each with about half the brie and half the caramelized onions. Lie the remaining chicken breast halves atop the brie and onions.
• Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and the chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.
• While the chicken bakes, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Allow the butter to brown slightly before adding the vermouth; bring to a simmer and allow to cook until the liquid reduces by about half. Season with the thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir the arrowroot into the mixture to thicken. Serve the sauce over the chicken.
