Ingredients

Scale

2 chicken tenderloins (about 6 oz each)
kosher salt
ground black pepper
2 oz brie, sliced (about ¼ inch thick)
1 large apple (honeycrisp, granny smith, etc.), thinly sliced (about ¼ inch thick)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, thinly sliced
¼ cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
¾ cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon whole grain or Dijon mustard
2 sprigs fresh rosemary

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Pat the chicken dry and carefully slice horizontally into each tenderloin to create a pocket, making sure not to slice all the way through. Season the inside and outside of the chicken with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Stuff the Chicken Place slices of brie and 3-4 slices of apple into each pocket. Optionally, secure the stuffing with toothpicks.
Step 3: Sear the Chicken In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter on medium-high. Add the stuffed chicken, searing until browned on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and cover to keep warm.
Step 4: Cook the Onions and Apples Reduce the heat to medium, add onions to the skillet, and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add the remaining apple slices, season with a pinch of salt, and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes more.
Step 5: Deglaze the Pan Pour the wine into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits. Allow the wine to reduce by half.
Step 6: Make the Sauce Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stirring well. Add chicken broth, maple syrup, cider vinegar, mustard, and add the rosemary sprigs. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer for 5 minutes, adjusting the seasoning as needed.
Step 7: Finish Cooking Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and simmer until the chicken is fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the rosemary before serving.
