Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 ounces Brie cheese (rind removed)
- 1/2 cup fresh cranberries
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cranberries and cook until they soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in honey, orange juice, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and pepper; continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
- Cut pockets into chicken breasts without cutting through completely. Stuff each pocket with Brie pieces and spoon cranberry mixture on top. Secure with toothpicks.
- In an oven-safe skillet, sear the stuffed chicken on medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Top with panko breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving; garnish with chopped parsley.
