Chicken Blue Brie and Apple

This is an interesting dish with unusual flavours. The chicken breasts are stuffed with rich creamy blue brie, and the ginger and apple add a sweet-hot flavour.

It is one which is sure to impress, and tastes excellent.

Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Makes: 3 servings

Ingredients
2 thick skinless chicken breasts (about 320 g each)
teaspoon ginger
1 apple, peeled and grated
100 g blue brie, cut into 4 wedges
400 g Savoy cabbage, finely shredded
6 spring onions
50 g walnuts, chopped
Potatoes (optional)
Avocado (optional)

Method
  • Preheat the oven to 240° or 220° if fan forced.

  • Combine the ginger and apple.

  • Cut a deep pocket into each chicken breast, trying to get as close to the edges as possible but do NOT slice through the edge.
  • Making the pocket in the chicken breast


  • Divide the ginger and apple mixture among the pockets.
  • Push the giner and apple right in the pockets


  • Push the wedges of cheese into each.
  • Cheese pushed into the breast pockets


  • Press the chicken together moulding it back into shape and pushing the filling evenly right into the pockets. I then secured them with toothpicks.

  • Put the chicken into a shallow ovenproof dish, laying them in a single layer. Brush with a tbsp of olive oil and sprinkle pepper and salt, if required.
  • In the baking dish


  • Bake for 15 minutes or until the chicken is browned on top and cooked through and the filling is running out in places. Do NOT overcook or chicken becomes dry.
  • Cooked chicken


  • Meanhwhile heat some oil in a large frypan and add the cabbage, spring onions, and walnuts. I had a few leftover mushrooms, so also added these.
  • Preparing cabbage for cooking


  • Meanwhile cook potatoes also if using.

  • Cook the cabbage over a medium heat, stirring, for about 6 minutes or till the cabbage is reduced in volume, and lightly cooked.. Season to taste with salt and pepper and I added avocado as well when cooked.
  • Cooked cabbage


  • Transfer the chicken pockets to plates, spooning over the escaping cheese and juices. Add some of the cabbage to each plate, and serve immediately with the potatoes.

  • I re-heated it the second day with pumpkin and fried the cooked potatoes.
  • Plated
