Ingredients
For The Chicken:
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (mine was 10 ounces each - shoot for 4 to 6 ounces per serving)
- 1.5 ounces gouda cheese, thinly sliced
- 1/2 large apple, thinly sliced (I used Honeycrisp - any firm apple will work)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil for chicken
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, more to choose from for garnish
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 fresh ground pepper
For Sweet Potatoes:
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 ° F.
- Spray a large baking dish or baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Divide each chicken breast, but not across, and open it like a book (beware, you can easily cut yourself by doing this!). This is also known as butterflying.
- On one side of the chicken, place 7 to 8 thin apple slices followed by 4 to 5 slices of cheese. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme. Fold over and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
- Place the chicken breast on a baking sheet and cover with another branch of fresh thyme, if desired.
- In a bowl, mix the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon thyme leaves and sea salt until evenly coated. Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer around the chicken breasts.
- Bake for 20 minutes then stir the sweet potatoes.
- Continue to cook until the chicken juice is clear and the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees, about 10 minutes more. Sweet potatoes should be fork tender.
