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
- 4 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cranberries and cook until they soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in honey, orange juice, spices, salt, and pepper; cook until thickened.
- Cut pockets into the chicken breasts without cutting all the way through. Stuff each pocket with Brie cheese and cranberry mixture, securing with toothpicks.
- Sear the stuffed chicken in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown on each side (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Top with panko mixed with melted butter and bake for 20–25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
