Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Stuffing

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Cranberry Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Topping

  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cranberry Sauce: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the fresh cranberries and cook until they have softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in honey, orange juice, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking the mixture for 3 to 4 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  2. Stuff Chicken Breasts: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Stuff each pocket with pieces of Brie cheese and a generous spoonful of the cooled cranberry mixture. Secure the openings with toothpicks to keep the filling inside during cooking.
  3. Sear the Chicken: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the skillet and sear them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown crust. This step locks in juices and adds flavor.
  4. Add Breadcrumb Topping: In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs with melted butter. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of each seared chicken breast to create a crispy topping during baking.
  5. Bake the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the skillet with the chicken breasts to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure the chicken is cooked through.
  6. Rest and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute. Remove toothpicks, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve warm for a flavorful and impressive main dish.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safety.
  • Removing the rind from Brie helps with smoother melting inside the chicken.
  • If fresh cranberries are unavailable, frozen can be used; thaw before cooking.
  • Using an oven-safe skillet allows for easy transition from stovetop searing to oven baking.
  • To make prep easier, the cranberry sauce can be made a day ahead and refrigerated.
