# What You'll Need:
→ Chicken
01 -
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
→ Cranberry Filling
02 -
1/2 cup fresh cranberries
03 -
1/4 cup honey
04 -
1/4 cup orange juice
05 -
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 -
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
07 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
08 -
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
→ Cheese and Stuffing
09 -
4 ounces brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small pieces
→ Coating
10 -
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
11 -
1 tablespoon butter, melted
→ Finishing Touch
12 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
13 -
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
# Directions:
01 -
Set oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow to fully preheat.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add cranberries and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and burst, about 5 minutes.
03 -
Stir honey, orange juice, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper into cranberries. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for another 3-4 minutes, until mixture is slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
04 -
With a sharp knife, cut a pocket into the center of each chicken breast, taking care not to slice all the way through.
05 -
Evenly fill each chicken breast with brie cheese. Spoon a portion of cooled cranberry filling over the brie inside each breast. Secure openings with toothpicks to prevent filling from escaping.
06 -
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place stuffed chicken breasts in skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
07 -
Mix panko breadcrumbs with melted butter in a small bowl until evenly moistened.
08 -
Remove chicken from skillet; distribute panko mixture over tops of chicken breasts. Return chicken to skillet and transfer skillet to preheated oven.
09 -
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
10 -
Remove chicken from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley just prior to serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For a uniform melt, ensure the rind is fully removed from the brie and that cheese is cut into evenly sized pieces.
