Preparation

Step 1

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

2 In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, minced thyme, garlic and pepper. Set aside.

3 With a large sharp knife, starting at the thickest side of each breast and being careful not to cut right through breasts, slice a pocket in each breast large enough to hold one- quarter of brie. Divide brie evenly among pockets in breasts.

4 Brush both sides of breasts with olive oil mixture.

5 Wrap a slice of prosciutto around each breast so ends of prosciutto slices meet on underside of each breast.

6 In a large heavy ovenproof skillet, heat remaining oil over medium heat. Add breasts to skillet so undersides are uppermost. Cook for about 3 minutes or until golden brown.

7 Turn breasts over and add wine, thyme sprig and bay leaf to skillet. Bring to a boil. Transfer skillet to oven and roast, uncovered, for 15 to 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink inside.

8 Remove chicken breasts from skillet and keep warm on a heated platter. Wearing an oven mitt, place skillet over burner and bring cooking juices to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from bottom of skillet and adding any juices that have accumulated on plate under chicken. Boil for about 3 minutes or until juices in skillet have thickened slightly. Season with more pepper, and salt to taste if necessary. Strain sauce through a fine sieve.

9 Place a chicken breast on each of 4 warm dinner plates. Drizzle evenly with sauce and garnish with thyme.
