Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC). 2. With knife held horizontally and starting at the thinner side, cut each chicken breast in half, but not all the way through; open like a book. 3. Arrange brie slices over chicken, leaving a ½-inch (1-cm) border uncovered. Sprinkle with apricots, ¼ cup (50 mL) of the almonds, rosemary, salt and pepper; close breast, pressing around edges to seal. 4. In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs and remaining almonds. Dip the chicken breasts in the egg; then dredge in crumb mixture, pressing gently to coat completely. 5. In a large ovenproof skillet, melt butter and oil over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to oven; bake until cooked through, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, season bread crumbs with salt and pepper. Place eggs in a small bowl with 2 teaspoons water, and beat lightly. Dip chicken in egg, wiping away excess with your fingers, and dip in bread-crumb mixture. Dredge until lightly coated. Dip in egg again, and coat thoroughly with almonds.
- Heat butter and oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Saute chicken until nicely browned, about 3 minutes, and turn over. Cook 1 minute more; then transfer pan to oven, and bake until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm apricots for the best flavor and texture.
- If you can't find pre-sliced almonds, simply chop whole almonds in a food processor or with a knife.
- Use a sharp knife to score the chicken breasts, making sure to cut through the skin but not the meat.
- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper, both inside and out.
- To make the almond crust, combine the bread crumbs, almonds, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a shallow dish.
- Press the chicken breasts into the almond crust, making sure to coat them evenly.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook the chicken breasts for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
- While the chicken is cooking, make the apricot-brie stuffing. Combine the chopped apricots, brie cheese, honey, and thyme in a small bowl.
- Once the chicken breasts are cooked through, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Stuff the chicken breasts with the apricot-brie stuffing and serve immediately.

Almond-crusted apricot and brie-stuffed chicken is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion.
