Preparation

  1. Slice a pocket into each chicken breast. Stuff with thin pear slices and brie. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
  2. Blend dates, balsamic, olive oil, garlic, salt, and 3 tbsp warm water. Add more water as needed until smooth, glossy, and pourable. Divide glaze into two small bowls, one for brushing before baking and one batch for serving.
  3. Sear stuffed chicken in a hot skillet with oil for 2–3 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a baking dish and brush with the first batch of glaze.
  4. Bake at 400°F for 15–20 minutes until cooked through. Brush with more glaze and broil 1–2 minutes to caramelize.
  5. Slice and drizzle the reserved glaze on top.

*While Medjool dates are high in natural sugars, they are low on the glycemic index thanks to a balanced amount of soluble fiber. The complex carbohydrates found in Medjool dates are digested at a slower rate, making them a source of dietary fiber and releasing energy to the body over a longer period of time.
