Directions

  • Add a few apple slices, 2 pieces of brie, salt, pepper, and sage (if using) to each chicken breast.
  • Roll each end of chicken breast to middle and overlap. Secure with a toothpick or two.
  • Place each rolled chicken breast on top of onion mixture in slow cooker, toothpick side up.
  • Pour remaining wine and apple cider over chicken.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours.
  • Remove chicken from slow cooker, cover, and set aside.
  • Pour liquid from slow cooker into a medium-sized pot.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and reduce sauce.
  • To serve, drizzle each chicken breast with reduced sauce.

Tips for Success

  • Choose a crisp apple variety, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, to balance the richness of the brie.
  • Ensure the chicken breasts are pounded evenly to cook uniformly and roll easily.
  • For a stronger sage flavor, lightly sprinkle additional dried sage over the chicken before rolling.
  • If the sauce is too thin after reducing, simmer for a few extra minutes to achieve the desired consistency.

Serving Suggestions

Pair this dish with roasted vegetables, such as asparagus or carrots, to complement the savory and sweet flavors. A side of mashed potatoes or wild rice makes for a hearty accompaniment, soaking up the delicious reduced sauce. For a lighter option, serve with a mixed green salad dressed with a vinaigrette to enhance the apple notes.

This Apple and Brie Stuffed Chicken recipe is a delightful blend of flavors that’s both comforting and sophisticated. The slow cooker makes preparation a breeze, allowing you to enjoy a restaurant-quality meal at home with ease.
