Cranberry & Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Brie Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line with parchment paper.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast without slicing all the way through.
- In a bowl, mix the chopped spinach, dried cranberries, and slices of brie cheese.
- Stuff each chicken breast with the mixture, securing the opening with toothpicks if needed.
- Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil and season with garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven (or place the chicken in the prepared baking dish) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
- While the chicken is baking, whisk together honey, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until slightly thickened.
- Drizzle the glaze over the chicken before serving. Remove toothpicks if used.
- Garnish with additional dried cranberries or fresh spinach if desired.
