Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 4 oz brie cheese, cut into slices
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth (optional, for extra moisture)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing it horizontally, without cutting all the way through. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
  • Stuff the Chicken: Open each chicken breast and layer a handful of spinach leaves, a few dried cranberries, and 1-2 slices of brie cheese. Carefully fold the chicken breast closed and secure with toothpicks.
  • Sear the Chicken: In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Place the stuffed chicken breasts in the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Bake: If desired, add chicken broth to the skillet for extra moisture. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
  • Serve: Remove the toothpicks and serve warm. Pair with a simple side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Prepare and stuff the chicken breasts in advance, then store in the refrigerator for up to 1 day before cooking.
  • Alternative Cheese: Swap brie with goat cheese or cream cheese for a different flavor.
  • Add Nuts: For extra crunch, add some crushed pecans or walnuts to the stuffing.
