A delightful chicken dish stuffed with brie cheese and a sweet cranberry mixture, perfect for family dinners or impressing guests.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 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
- 4 ounces brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the fresh cranberries to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and burst, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the honey, orange juice, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper.
- Continue cooking the cranberry mixture for another 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Remove the cranberry mixture from the heat and set it aside to cool.
- Cut a pocket in the center of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff each chicken breast with brie cheese pieces and spoon a portion of the cooled cranberry mixture over it.
- Secure the opening of each chicken breast with toothpicks.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Combine the panko breadcrumbs and melted butter in a small bowl while the chicken is searing.
- Spread the panko mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and transfer it to the oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Notes
Avoid overcooking the chicken and use a meat thermometer for best results.
