Ingredients
4 pieces chicken breasts
½ cup cranberry sauce
4 ounces brie cheese
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
1.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil.
2.
Carefully cut a pocket in each chicken breast, avoiding cutting all the way through to ensure a neat pocket.
3.
Stuff each pocket with a slice of brie cheese and a generous tablespoon of cranberry sauce, ensuring an even distribution.
4.
Season the stuffed chicken breasts with salt and black pepper, making sure to coat evenly for maximum flavor.
5.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each side of the chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes each side.
6.
Transfer seared chicken to the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until cooked through.
7.
Once baked, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute for moistness.
