Cranberry Brie Stuffed Chicken (Recipe for Printing)

Juicy chicken filled with melty Brie and vibrant cranberry sauce, topped with crispy panko for an elegant yet easy main course.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 4 ounces brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small pieces
03 - 1/2 cup fresh cranberries

→ Cranberry Mixture

04 - 1/4 cup honey
05 - 1/4 cup orange juice
06 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 - 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Coating & Garnish

10 - 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
11 - 1 tablespoon butter, melted
12 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
13 - 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

# Steps to Prepare:

01 - Preheat your oven to 190°C.
02 - Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add fresh cranberries and cook until they begin to soften and burst, about 5 minutes. Stir in honey, orange juice, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
03 - Cut a pocket in the center of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through. Stuff each breast with equal amounts of brie pieces, followed by a portion of the cooled cranberry mixture. Secure openings with toothpicks.
04 - Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear stuffed chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
05 - Combine panko breadcrumbs with melted butter in a small bowl. Remove browned chicken from skillet briefly and spread panko mixture evenly over the top of each breast.
06 - Return chicken to the skillet and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 74°C.
07 - Remove chicken from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

# Helpful Advice:

01 - For a more intense cranberry flavor, add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the cranberry mixture.
02 - If you prefer a sweeter filling, increase the honey by a tablespoon or two.
03 - Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches the proper internal temperature for food safety.
04 - If you don't have panko, regular breadcrumbs work as a substitute but may result in a less crispy texture.
05 - For an extra flavor boost, try adding a small amount of grated orange zest to the cranberry mixture.
