Apple & Brie Stuffed Chicken

So, while I was in Pittsburgh visiting my man, I was searching for yummy meals to test out on him.  Of course, being that I am beyond addicted to Facebook, I had posted a status update asking for suggestions.  Just a few minutes later a bunch of friends had responded.  One of them, my friend Sheila. Now, Sheila always has the best comments/suggestions/advice... So, I knew she wouldn't steer me wrong! Sheila commented saying that she had made a really awesome meal the other night by simply inventing her own recipe!  I was excited, to say the least! Reading thru the simple ingredients she used, my mouth began to water.  This was a risky recipe for me, only because JD isn't a fan of Chicken... Odd, I know.  But, I decided to try it anyhow!

I am SO glad I did, because it was absolutely amazing! Sheila and I had joked that it was good enough to get me laid, but in all seriousness, IT WAS! This was by far the best Chicken I have ever eaten! And the best part? (Most would think it was the after party?!) ...IT WAS SO EASY!

Anyhow, Sheila has given me permission to share her recipe here:

Apple & Brie Stuffed Chicken

Courtesy of Sheila Bogan

Ingredients:

• 2 Red Apples
• Honey
• Balsamic Vinegar
• Nutmeg
• Brie Cheese
• 2 Chicken Breasts, butterflied.
• Salt
• Pepper
• Olive Oil

These are Sheila's directions, literally, word-for-word:

"So you take red apples and cut them into small pieces. In a saucepan put the apples, honey, balsamic and nutmeg. Carmelize them and then butterfly the chicken breasts so they are open. And flatten them a bit. Then put the apples and brie on one side and put the other side of the chicken over it. Bake it on like 400 for about 35-40min. I just seasoned chicken w salt, pepper and olive oil. Delicious:)"

I followed Sheila's suggestion and served up this chicken along side little red potatoes. I simply quartered them, seasoned them using just olive oil, parsley, and salt and pepper, then baked them in the oven with the chicken. Delish!

I also sauteed some fresh green beans, as well.

A huge Thanks to Sheila for sharing her recipe!

JD LOVED IT! As I mentioned, he doesn't even like Chicken, so you know it was delicious! In fact, he raved about it-- first rating it an "8" on a scale from 1-10... then, stating "If I had to eat it once a week, I could."

Verdict: MAKE IT NOW!
