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