Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the oven

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2
Prepare the chicken

Place chicken breasts on a cutting board. Make cuts across each breast about 1/4 inch apart, cutting almost but not completely through. The cuts should resemble a fan or accordion.

3
Season the chicken

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Be sure to get some seasoning into the cuts.

4
Prepare the apple

Wash the apple. Core and cut into very thin slices.

5
Prepare the lemon

Wash the lemon. Cut half into very thin slices. Juice the other half and set aside.

6
Prepare the garlic

Peel and mince the garlic.

7
Make the marinade

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, thyme, honey, salt, and pepper.

8
Stuff the chicken

Alternately insert apple and lemon slices into the cuts in the chicken. Place stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish.

9
Apply the marinade

Brush the marinade over the chicken, making sure it gets into the cuts. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.

10
Bake the chicken

Bake for 25-30 minutes until chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Baste with pan juices halfway through cooking.

11
Rest and serve

Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon any pan juices over the chicken. Serve hot.
