Description
A delightful dish featuring juicy chicken breasts filled with creamy brie cheese and sweet-tart cranberry sauce.
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 and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and burst, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the honey, orange juice, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Set aside to cool.
- Cut a pocket in the center of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Fill each pocket with equal amounts of brie cheese pieces.
- Spoon some of the cooled cranberry mixture into each chicken breast over the brie.
- Secure the openings with toothpicks.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Combine the panko breadcrumbs and melted butter in a small bowl.
- Once the chicken is browned, remove it from the skillet and spread the panko mixture over the top of each chicken breast.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and transfer to the preheated 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. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the chicken just before serving.
Notes
Serve with roasted vegetables or a salad. It pairs well with leftover cranberry sauce.
