Ingredients

For Chicken:

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (approximately 10 oz. each)
  • 2 ounces Gouda cheese, very thinly sliced
  • ½ large apple, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (reserve a few sprigs for garnish)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For Sweet Potatoes:

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a large sheet pan or shallow baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Split each chicken breast across but not through and open like a book (be careful, you can easily cut yourself doing this!). This is also known as butterflying. Refer to the post for photos.
  • On one side of the chicken, arrange 7 to 8 thin apple slices followed by 4 to 5 slices of cheese. Sprinkle with ½ teaspoon fresh thyme. Fold over and drizzle with ½ teaspoon olive oil. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Repeat with second chicken breast.
  • Place the chicken breasts on sheet pan and top with another sprig of fresh thyme, if desired.
  • In a bowl, mix diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon thyme leaves and sea salt until evenly coated. Arrange sweet potatoes in a single layer around chicken breasts.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, remove from oven, and stir sweet potatoes.
  • Continue to bake until the juices run clear from chicken and internal temperature of chicken registers at 165°F, about 10 additional minutes. Sweet potatoes should be fork tender.
  • Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully cut each chicken breast in half vertically to make 4 servings. Serve with sweet potatoes on the side.
