Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup cranberry sauce (preferably homemade or low-sugar)
  • 4 oz Brie cheese cut into small pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Method
 

  1. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to begin heating.
  2. Place the chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap or parchment, then gently tap them with a meat mallet until they’re evenly flattened.
  3. Brush the chicken with olive oil and generously season both sides with salt, pepper, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  4. Carefully slice a horizontal pocket into the thickest part of each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.
  5. Fill each pocket with a good spoonful of cranberry sauce and several pieces of Brie cheese, then press the edges firmly to close them.
  6. Warm a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit of olive oil.
  7. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts in the skillet until each side turns a golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  8. Transfer the skillet straight into the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until chicken is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  9. Once baked, let the chicken rest on a plate for a few minutes before cutting it into slices.
  10. Serve your cranberry and brie stuffed chicken with your favorite sides like roasted veggies or a fresh salad to complete the meal.

Notes

  • For best results, use low-sugar cranberry sauce to balance flavors. Letting the chicken rest after baking helps keep it juicy. Perfect for holiday dinners or a simple weeknight meal.
