Steps:
- 1. Melt 1 Tbsp. butter in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apples and saute until softened. Set the pan aside.
- 2. Tuck a slice of Brie and several slices of apple into the pocket on the underside of the chicken breasts between the breast and the tenderloin. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Pat a little flour onto both sides of each chicken breast.
- 3. In the skillet, melt 1 Tbsp. butter over high heat. When the butter foams add the chicken breasts and brown them on both sides. Transfer the chicken to a cooking sheet, stuffed-side-down, and put it into the oven for 15 minutes. While the chicken is cooking, make the sauce.
- 4. Pour the cider and broth into the skillet and boil it over high heat until reduced to about 1-1/2 cups. Swirl in the remaining 2 Tbsp. of butter. Season to taste with salt and pepper. To serve, divide the chicken among 4 plates and pour a little sauce over each.

Tips:
- For a more flavorful dish, use a flavorful cooking oil, such as olive oil or butter. You can also add herbs, spices, or garlic to the oil before cooking the chicken breasts.
- Be sure to cook the chicken breasts over medium heat so that they cook evenly throughout. If you cook them over high heat, they may brown on the outside but be undercooked on the inside.
- To prevent the chicken breasts from drying out, baste them with the cooking juices or a mixture of melted butter, white wine, and lemon juice.
- If you want a crispier crust on the chicken breasts, you can pan-fry them instead of baking them. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Serve the chicken breasts immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or rice.
