Ingredients
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
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan. Add cranberries and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in honey, orange juice, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Cut a pocket in each chicken breast. Stuff with Brie cheese pieces and cranberry mixture. Secure with toothpicks.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Combine panko breadcrumbs and melted butter. Spread over chicken breasts.
- Transfer skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let rest for 5 minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve.
Notes
For extra flavor, add balsamic vinegar to the cranberry mixture.
Use goat cheese or sharp cheddar as alternatives to Brie.
Increase the honey for a sweeter filling, or add a pinch of cayenne for heat.
