Equipment

  • Sharp knife for cutting chicken
  • Cutting board
  • Toothpicks to secure the chicken
  • Large oven-safe skillet
  • Meat thermometer
  • Mixing bowl
  • Kitchen twine (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts
  • 4 ounces of brie cheese
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh rosemary optional
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth

Instructions
 

  • Take your chicken breasts out first.
  • Pat them dry with paper towels.
  • This helps them cook evenly.
  • Cut a pocket into each breast carefully.
  • Use a sharp knife for this step.
  • Don't cut all the way through.
  • Make the pocket deep and wide.
  • This holds the filling better.
  • Cut the brie cheese into thin slices.
  • Mix it with dried cranberries in a bowl.
  • You can add fresh rosemary here too.
  • The filling should be easy to stuff.
  • Don't overmix the ingredients together.
  • Put the brie and cranberry mixture inside.
  • Fill each pocket generously but not too much.
  • Use toothpicks to close the opening.
  • This keeps everything inside while cooking.
  • Season the outside with salt and pepper.
  • Add garlic powder on both sides.
  • Heat olive oil in your skillet.
  • Place it over medium-high heat first.
  • Add the stuffed chicken breasts carefully.
  • Cook for 5 minutes on each side.
  • The outside should turn golden brown.
  • This seals in all the juices.
  • Move the skillet to your preheated oven.
  • Set the temperature to 375°F (190°C).
  • Add chicken broth to the pan.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes total.
  • Check with a meat thermometer.
  • It should read 165°F (74°C) inside.
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
  • Remove toothpicks before serving.

Notes

  • Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness.
  • This helps them cook uniformly.
  • Don't skip the resting time after cooking.
  • It keeps the juices inside the meat.
  • Use room temperature brie cheese for easier stuffing.
  • You can add spinach to the filling.
  • Fresh cranberries work too if you have them.
  • Season generously for better flavor.
  • Don't overcook or chicken becomes dry.
