Ingredients

2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts

4 oz brie cheese, sliced

1/3 cup dried cranberries

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Butterfly the chicken breasts by slicing them horizontally without cutting all the way through; open like a book.

3. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the garlic for 30 seconds, then add the spinach or kale until wilted. Remove from heat and mix in the dried cranberries.

4. Stuff each chicken breast with slices of brie and the cranberry-greens mixture. Close the pocket and secure with toothpicks.

5. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.

6. In an oven-safe skillet, heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.

7. Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle with honey or Dijon glaze if using.

Notes

Make sure the chicken breasts are thick enough to butterfly properly — thinner ones can tear too easily.

Use room-temperature brie for easier slicing and melting.

Don’t skip the sear — it locks in juices and builds flavor before finishing in the oven.
