Ingredients
Scale
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tbsp olive oil
½ cup fresh cranberries
¼ cup honey
¼ cup orange juice
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
4 oz brie cheese, rind removed and cubed
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tbsp butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add cranberries and cook until they burst, about 5 minutes. Stir in honey, orange juice, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and pepper. Cook 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened. Cool.
Cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Stuff with brie pieces and spoon cranberry mixture over cheese. Secure with toothpicks.
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken 2–3 minutes per side until golden.
Mix panko with melted butter. Remove chicken briefly, sprinkle panko on top, return to skillet, and bake 20–25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Rest chicken 5 minutes. Remove toothpicks, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve.
Notes
Use fresh cranberries for best flavor.
Ensure the internal temperature of chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest before serving for better moisture retention.
