Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Smart Chicken Boneless Skinless Breasts, two breasts

  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil

  • 1 large yellow peach, 6 slices needed, divided

  • ¼ jalapeno, 8 thin slices needed, divided

  • 6-8 ounces brie cheese, 8-10 slices needed

  • salt, season the outside of the chicken

  • black pepper, season the outside of the chicken

  • 2 teaspoons Italian parsley, chopped small, as garnish

Directions

Prepare the Chicken

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Making sure to not completely cut through the chicken.

Stuff the Chicken

Add 2-3 slices of brie to the bottom of the chicken pocket, followed by 2-3 peach slices. Top the peaches with thinly slices jalapeno and 1-2 more slices of brie. Make sure everything is tucked really well inside of the chicken. Season the outside of the chicken with salt and black pepper.

Pan Roast the Chicken

Heat avocado oil in a cast iron pan or oven safe skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, but not smoking add the chicken.

Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, then carefully add the cast iron or oven safe pan into the oven. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Remove from the oven, drizzle the chicken with the pan sauce and serve hot!
