Ingredients
Scale
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup brie cheese, rind removed and cubed (about 113 g)
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (about 120 g)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (about 15 mL)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon thyme (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme (if using).
- Carefully slice a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, cutting deep enough to hold the filling but not all the way through.
- Fill each pocket with an equal amount of cubed brie and cranberry sauce.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts for about 3–4 minutes per side until browned.
- Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
Notes
This dish is naturally gluten-free and can be prepared a day in advance. For best results, allow the chicken to come close to room temperature before searing.
