Ingredients
  

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 ounces brie cheese rind removed and cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup cranberry sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs optional, for topping
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter optional, for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Using a sharp knife, carefully create a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing horizontally, being sure not to cut all the way through.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the brie cheese, cranberry sauce, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Stuff each chicken breast pocket with the cranberry-brie mixture, dividing it evenly between the two breasts.
  5. Secure the openings with toothpicks if necessary to keep the filling inside during cooking.
  6. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. If using, mix breadcrumbs with melted butter and sprinkle over the chicken for a crispy topping.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  9. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
