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 to the pan and cook until they soften and burst, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the honey, orange juice, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, salt, and black pepper, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Cut a pocket in the center of each chicken breast without cutting all the way through.
- Stuff each chicken breast with brie cheese pieces and spoon cooled cranberry mixture over the cheese.
- Secure openings with toothpicks to keep filling in place.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and melted butter. Once the chicken is browned, spread this mixture over the top of each breast.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving, then sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Notes
For best results, ensure the cranberry mixture cools before adding to the chicken. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness.
