6" is wider than a brick side on whcih is only about 4.5" thick. A chimney breast will likely only be of a single 4.5" skin with the flue behind and the main wall behind that. Thus if you were to try and recess into the current chimney breast there is every probability you will break into the flue.

Short answer: Don't do it.
