Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup fresh cranberries
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 oz brie cheese, sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cranberries and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in honey, orange juice, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
Cut a pocket in the side of each chicken breast without cutting through.
Stuff each with slices of brie and a generous spoonful of cranberry mixture. Secure with toothpicks.
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each stuffed breast for 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
In a bowl, mix melted butter with panko breadcrumbs.
Remove chicken from heat, top with buttery panko, and transfer skillet to the oven.
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165°F.
Let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
Notes
Make the cranberry sauce ahead of time for easy prep.
Frozen cranberries work too—just adjust cooking time slightly.
Substitute brie with camembert or mozzarella if preferred.
Remove toothpicks before serving!
