Chicken Apple Brie Sandwich Recipe
Every new recipe I make always stems from one key ingredient or memory. Brie cheese is one of those that inspired these Chicken Apple Brie Sandwich. You may think of baked brie wrapped in puff pastry when you think of using brie. While this is a favorite way to make it, I wanted to do something just a little different with the wheel of Brie I had.
These sliders are a substantial appetizer, quick sandwich lunch or a light dinner - all wrapped into one amazing recipe. I absolutely love making sliders for weeknight dinners and parties alike, and usually, we can fill up on one or two. Chicken is a staple in our house, so naturally, it became the protein for this dish.
This recipe is all about balance. For every savory element, there's a sweet element to balance it out. It may seem like there are a lot of flavors, but the way they all complement each other (without overshadowing each other) is surprising and magical. I think you're going to love them!
Ingredients
For these Chicken Apple Brie Sandwiches, here's what you will need:
- chicken breast: You can also use chicken thighs in this recipe, or even prosciutto if you want something salty and quick. Or use a rotisserie chicken for a quick kitchen hack!
- Brie cheese: Camembert is a good substitute if you don't have
- fuji apple: An apple slice adds a bit of crunch. Fuji, Honeycrisp, Gala or Pink Lady are my faves. You could also use a fresh pear.
- jam: I used a triple-berry jam, but you can use fig jam, blueberry jam or strawberry preserves, or whatever jam you like.
- spinach: For a little extra crunch and a peppery bite! Or use your favorite greens.
- slider rolls: These smaller rolls are perfect for smaller servings, but you could also make these on hamburger buns or ciabatta bread.
- unsalted butter: This is for toasting the bread. You can also use oil, or skip it all together.
These sandwiches are super customizable. If you like, you can spread on Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, honey or a little balsamic vinegar. At the holidays, you can make these with leftover turkey and cranberry sauce!
How to Make Chicken Apple Brie Sandwiches
Making these sliders is so easy! Here's what you'll need to do:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Cut a quarter of the brie wheel and slice it into four chunks. Set them aside for later.
- One of my favorite ways to make chicken is by pounding it thin first with a meat tenderizer. It makes it so much easier to cook quickly because it heats evenly and quickly, without drying out. (There's nothing worse than dry chicken!)
- Trim the chicken breast and cut it into four pieces about the same size. Season both sides really well with salt and pepper.
- Cook the chicken in a frying pan or grill pan until it hits 165°F in the center. (I love using a grill pan like this one to cook it, too, because those faux grill marks make the dish even more stunning! A panini press would be good too.) Top each piece of chicken with a chunk of brie and let it get melty for a minute or two.
- While that's going, spread the cut sides of the slider rolls with butter and pop them in the oven for 4-5 minutes, just until they're lightly golden brown.
- Now build your sliders: cheesy chicken on the bottom bun, a few spinach leaves, an apple slice, and a spoonful of jam. Cap them with the top buns, and dig in!
What to Serve with Chicken Apple Brie Sandwiches
These fruity, cheesy, chicken sliders are perfectly delicious on their own, but they're even better with a few side dishes. Even some crispy potato chips would be lovely!
With the flavors of apple, Brie cheese and jammy berries, these chicken sliders would be so good with these cauliflower cheese chicken fritters or a strawberry spinach salad.

I haven't had brie in FOREVER and this looks all kinds of delicious. I love that you paired it with apples, that puts it over the top for me. I always have apples with brie. haha The wine paired with the slider would be perfect for a Memorial Day cookout!
