Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 oz (about 115g) brie cheese, sliced
½ cup dried cranberries (or cranberry sauce for a softer texture)
2 tablespoons fresh chopped rosemary or thyme (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
Toothpicks or kitchen twine for securing the chicken
Optional: 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze for serving
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
Prepare the chicken by making a deep pocket in each breast. Use a sharp knife to slice horizontally through the thickest part, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Stuff each breast with slices of brie and a spoonful of dried cranberries. If desired, sprinkle in some chopped rosemary or thyme for extra aroma.
Secure the chicken with toothpicks or tie with kitchen twine to keep the filling from escaping during cooking.
Season both sides of the stuffed chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Sear the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
Transfer to the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if using, and serve warm.
