Winner winner APPLE & BRIE STUFFED CHICKEN is what’s for dinner!🙌🏻
.
Ok babes, I’ve been OBSSESED with stuffed chicken lately. (And since I got an overwhelming response from all of you last week about this recipe - it seems like y’all are obsessed with it too!😍) And for a good reason! This dish is surprisingly easy to make, tastes like a dream & looks fancy as hell to boot!👌🏻 Which you all know by now that I love my fancy pants meals!🕺🏼(Or rather meals that seem fancy but are actually quite simple.😉)
Regardless, you’ll be impressing your guests for sure with this one babes!🤗
.
Hope you’re all having the best Tuesday!😊💕
(Tutorial will be on my stories & in my highlights later!⬆️ Full recipe/tips will hopefully be on the blog soon!)
.
Apple & Brie Stuffed Chicken🍎🧀
2 chicken breasts
1 large apple, chopped
1 wedge of Brie, sliced thin & rinds removed
Salt & pepper
.
Maple Glaze:
2 Tbsps pure maple syrup
1 Tbsp unsweetened apple juice
1 tsp dijon mustard
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 garlic clove minced
.
1. Mix all ingredients for the glaze & set it aside.
2. Put the chicken on a cutting board. Place your hand on top of the chicken & slice through it horizontally (but not all the way) leaving about 1/2 inch on the other side.
3. “Open” the chicken like a book. Place your chopped apples on what would be the bottom piece & layer the Brie over them. Fold the top piece of chicken over the Brie & press down to “seal” the filling together.
4. Heat a cast iron over medium heat & spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Sprinkle the chicken with salt & pepper & sear it (top side down) in the cast iron for 2-3 minutes. Then flip it, brush it with the glaze & put the entire pan in the oven at 400 for 20 minutes. Serve with additional glaze.
(NOTE: You can also brush the glaze on & put it straight in the oven without searing it first. Same cook time & temp)

How to make Mondays not suck 101: Make these PEANUT BUTTER SWIRL CHOCOLATE CHUNK BANANA MUFFINS & call it a day!😉
.
Anyone else secretly love buying a boat load of bananas??🙋🏼‍♀️ I swear I only do it so I can “conveniently” forget about them on the counter & watch as they turn from yellow, to spotty, to that perfect “I’m ready to bake with” color...😏 And then my mind starts racing with all the things! This week’s brilliant idea? Banana muffins!🤗 These babies are 100% oil free, dairy free, light & airy & taste like a God send when you top them with even more peanut butter! (Which lets be honest, you can never have too much peanut butter, right?!😋)
.
Hope you’re all having a marvelous Monday babes!😊💕
.
PB Swirl Chocolate Chunk Banana Muffins🍌🍫
1 cup mashed bananas
1/4 cup coconut sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup @enjoylifefoods chocolate chunks (can replace with regular chocolate chips)
1/4 cup peanut butter
.
1. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt & cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the bananas, coconut sugar, egg, almond milk, applesauce & vanilla.
3. Add the flour mixture & whisk until fully combined. Stir in the chocolate chunks.
4. Line a muffin tin with muffin liners and fill each liner 1/2 way up with your batter. Place a small amount of pb on the top of each muffin & use a toothpick to “swirl” it around. (Top with more chocolate chunks if desired.😉)
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes. .

Anyone else love giving homemade gifts as Christmas presents??🙋🏼‍♀️ Well look no further babes because you’ll want to add this sweet & salty PRETZEL GRANOLA to your list ASAP!😉
.
I LOVE making granola! Not only is it soo much cheaper than buying bag after bag at the store, but you also know exactly what’s going into it too! (Which means no crazy chemicals or weird ingredients you can’t pronounce!😉) For this special mix I used my @fromthegroundupsnacks butternut squash pretzels and they were a game changer! This baby came out super crunchy & was the perfect combo of salty & sweet.🕺🏼 (Not to mention - incredibly easy to make too!🙌🏻)
Needless to say, I’m already on my second batch!😉
.
Hope you’re all having the best Wednesday loves!😊💕
.
Pretzel Granola🥨
1 cup rolled oats (use gluten free if GF)
1 up almonds, chopped
1 cup @fromthegroundupsnacks pretzels, crushed
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup honey
1 Tbsp avocado oil
.
1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl (except for the cranberries).
2. Pour the granola onto a baking sheet that’s been lined with parchment paper & spread it out to form a single layer. Bake at 325 degrees for 15 minutes.
3. Pull out the granola & stir in the cranberries. Spread it out again on the sheet to form a single layer.
4. Bake for 10-15 more minutes. Let granola cool completely on the sheet before storing it. .
