Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the cored apple in a small baking dish. In a small bowl, stir about one third of the honey and all of the cinnamon together, then spoon the mixture into the center of the apple. Pour the water into the bottom of the dish. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the apple is very tender when pierced with a knife.
While the apple bakes, place the chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound it to an even 3/4-inch thickness. Season both sides with the salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, flip, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes more until the thickest part is opaque in the center. Remove from the heat and let the meat rest for 3 minutes. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
Whisk the remaining honey, lemon juice, and a tiny pinch of the salt together in a small bowl. Brush half the glaze over the rested chicken. Place the chicken and the baked apple on a plate. Stir the baking juices from the apple dish into the remaining glaze and drizzle it over the apple and the chicken.
