Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 oz brie cheese, sliced
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tbsp olive oil Plus extra for searing
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- to taste Salt and pepper
- for garnish Fresh thyme
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to create a pocket in the side of each breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Stuffing and Cooking
- Take a slice of brie cheese and a spoonful of cranberry sauce and place them into each chicken pocket, packing it tightly.
- In a large oven-proof skillet, heat a bit of olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for about 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juicy.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh thyme and serve warm.
