Description
A cozy fall dish featuring juicy chicken breasts stuffed with creamy brie cheese and tart cranberry sauce, perfect for any special occasion or weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup cranberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 8 oz brie cheese, sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs (such as thyme or rosemary) for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it heats up, carefully slice pockets into each chicken breast.
- Place a few slices of brie cheese inside each chicken breast, followed by a generous spoonful of cranberry sauce.
- Secure the openings with toothpicks or kitchen twine to keep the stuffing from spilling out during cooking.
- Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season the stuffed chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Sear each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.
Notes
Don’t overcook the chicken to avoid dryness. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or use homemade cranberry sauce for the best flavor.
